Johan et Pirlouit #2 1984 Turkish Comic Turkey Le Maître de Roucybeuf #2

Küçük Prens (Johan et Pirlouit) – “Esrarengiz Şato” – Issue #2 – Turkish Edition, Şiiler Yayınevi (1984)

Description:

This Turkish black-and-white issue of Küçük Prens continues the 1984 local publications of the classic Franco-Belgian medieval adventure series Johan et Pirlouit, created by Peyo. Published by Şiiler Yayınevi, this release is Issue #2 in the Turkish numbering and features the story Esrarengiz Şato, originally titled Le Maître de Roucybeuf, listed as story number 2 in the original series chronology.

Le Maître de Roucybeuf is an early and atmospheric Johan et Pirlouit tale centered on mystery, hidden motives, and feudal intrigue. As one of the foundational stories in the original sequence, it showcases Peyo’s early approach to medieval suspense and character-driven adventure, laying the groundwork for the richer narratives that followed later in the series.

As with other Turkish editions of this period, the comic is printed in black and white despite the original European album being published in color. The cover artwork was newly illustrated by a Turkish artist and differs from the original European cover, increasing its appeal as a regional variant. This issue also includes a short bonus comic titled Topaç’ın Kurnazlığı at the end, adding exclusive supplementary content and further distinguishing this edition for collectors.
