Johan et Pirlouit #19 1982 Turkish Comic Turkey Le Lutin du Bois aux Roches #3

Küçük Prens (Johan et Pirlouit) – “Ormanlar Haydutuna Karşı” – Issue #19 – Turkish Edition, Şiiler Yayınevi (1982)

Description:

This Turkish black-and-white issue of Küçük Prens is part of the local publications of the classic Franco-Belgian medieval adventure series Johan et Pirlouit, created by Peyo. Published in 1982 by Şiiler Yayınevi, this release is Issue #19 in the Turkish numbering and presents the story Ormanlar Haydutuna Karşı, originally titled Le Lutin du Bois aux Roches, which is listed as story number 3 in the original series chronology.

Le Lutin du Bois aux Roches is one of the earliest Johan et Pirlouit stories and reflects the formative stage of the series, combining fairy-tale atmosphere, forest mythology, and straightforward adventure. These early stories are particularly important for understanding how Peyo established the tone and character dynamics that would define the series in later, more complex narratives.

As with other Turkish editions from this period, the comic is printed in black and white despite the original European edition being published in color. The cover artwork was newly illustrated by a Turkish artist and differs from the original cover, a factor that significantly enhances its collectible value. Additionally, the book includes a short bonus comic titled Sihirli Şapka at the end, making this issue a distinctive and content-rich Turkish variant.
