Kral Conan #14 The Savage Sword of #167 Turkish Comic Turkey #218

Kral Conan – Issue #14 – Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları (2000)

Description:

This is a Turkish-language, black-and-white Conan comic published by Alfa Yayınları in 2000 as part of the Kral Conan series. Released on a biweekly schedule between 1999 and 2001, the series ran for a total of 42 issues and is characterized by its mixed, non-linear editorial approach, compiling material from different original Conan publications.

Issue #14 includes the complete story originally published in The Savage Sword of Conan Issue #167. As a late-era Savage Sword entry, this story reflects the more polished artwork and refined storytelling style of the series’ later years, while maintaining the dark, atmospheric tone that defines Conan’s magazine-format adventures.

The cover art is taken directly from The Savage Sword of Conan #218. However, none of the stories from that issue appear inside this volume. This mismatch between cover and interior content was a deliberate publishing strategy employed by Alfa Yayınları, which frequently selected visually striking Conan covers to boost shelf appeal and sales, even when the artwork did not correspond to the included stories. As a result, this issue stands as a representative example of the publisher’s marketing-driven editorial approach.
