Johan et Pirlouit #5 1979 Turkish Comic Turkey La Pierre de Lune #4
Küçük Prens (Johan et Pirlouit) – “Sihirbazın Kulübesi” – Volume 5 (Turkey) – Turkish Edition, Şiiler Yayınevi (1979)
Description:
This Turkish black-and-white volume continues the local Küçük Prens editions of the classic Franco-Belgian series Johan et Pirlouit, created by Peyo. Published in 1979 by Şiiler Yayınevi, this book corresponds to Volume 5 of the series as issued in Turkey and presents the story Sihirbazın Kulübesi, originally titled La Pierre de Lune and listed as story number 4 in the original series chronology.
La Pierre de Lune is an early Johan et Pirlouit adventure, emphasizing medieval mystery, folklore, and subtle fantasy elements that helped define the tone of the series. As with other Turkish editions of the period, the original full-color artwork was reproduced in black and white, reflecting local production standards while preserving the narrative and visual structure of Peyo’s work.
A key collector-focused feature of this volume is its cover, which was newly illustrated by a Turkish artist and differs from the original European cover. Such localized cover variants are especially sought after, as they represent unique interpretations created specifically for the Turkish market. Additionally, this book includes a short bonus comic titled Yaman Hafiye at the end, adding extra content and further distinguishing this edition from its original counterpart.
