Kral Conan #18 King Conan #3 #4 #5 Turkish Comic Turkey SSOC #12

Kral Conan – Issue #18 – 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 consists of 42 issues and is well known for its mixed and non-linear editorial approach, compiling material from multiple original Conan titles without adhering to their original reading order.

Issue #18 continues the King Conan narrative arc. It includes Part 2 of the story from King Conan Issue #2, followed by the complete story from King Conan Issue #4, and Part 1 of the story from King Conan Issue #5. This structure advances Conan’s reign-focused storyline while maintaining serialized continuity across consecutive Turkish issues.

The cover art is taken from The Savage Sword of Conan #12. None of the interior stories originate from that issue, making the cover entirely unrelated to the content inside. This mismatch reflects Alfa Yayınları’s recurring practice of prioritizing visually striking Savage Sword covers for market appeal, even when the artwork does not correspond to the included King Conan material.
