The series is the Turkish adaptation of the original Belgian comic Lucky Luke, created by Morris. In Turkey, the character’s name was changed to “Red Kit,” and the series was published in Turkish and in black and white. While the original European albums were printed in full color, the Turkish publisher reduced production costs by having local artists retrace the original artwork onto acetate sheets and print them in black and white. As a result, the interior artwork differs in tone and detail compared to the original editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"1164\"\u003eOne of the most distinctive and collectible aspects of this Turkish edition is its covers. Unlike the original Lucky Luke albums, the covers were newly illustrated by Turkish artists, making them unique to this edition and visually different from their European counterparts. This creative reinterpretation gives the Turkish prints a separate identity within comic publishing history in Turkey and significantly increases their appeal among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eIssue #3 contains the complete Red Kit story Red Kit Daltonların Oğulları, adapted from the original Lucky Luke album Les Cousins Dalton. In addition to the main Lucky Luke material, the issue also includes short filler content, which was a common editorial practice of the era to enhance the volume’s page count and value. Among these supplementary pieces is a short Tom ve Ceri (Tom and Jerry) comic story included as additional reading material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1885\"\u003eOverall, Red Kit (Lucky Luke) – Issue 3 stands as a representative example of early 1970s Turkish comic publishing, reflecting adaptation strategies, cost-saving production methods, and locally produced cover art that distinguish it from the original European editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1020\" data-start=\"1001\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1936\"\u003e• Series (Original): Lucky Luke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1938\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003e• Turkish Title: Red Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003e• Issue Number: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2023\"\u003e• Publisher: Bilge Şakrak Yayınevi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2025\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003e• Publication Year: 1973\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2074\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2076\" data-end=\"2136\"\u003e• Printing: Black and white (original editions were color)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2138\" data-end=\"2219\"\u003e• Production Method: Original artwork retraced by Turkish artists using acetate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2300\"\u003e• Cover Art: Newly illustrated by Turkish artists (unique to Turkish edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2302\" data-end=\"2382\"\u003e• Main Story: Red Kit Daltonların Oğulları (Lucky Luke – Les Cousins Dalton)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2441\"\u003e• Additional Short Story: Tom ve Ceri (Tom and Jerry)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47755043438730,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_07d1f901-2f8b-43ab-af73-40b7e284d8c6.jpg?v=1772368833","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/lucky-luke-12-les-cousins-dalton-1973-turkish-comic-turkey-tom-and-jerry","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
