Lucky Luke - Les Collines noires 1980s Turkish Comic Turkey

Red Kit (Lucky Luke – Kızıl Derililere Karşı) – Nil Yayınevi (1980s)

Description:

This Red Kit comic was published in Turkey during the 1980s by Nil Yayınevi. The series is a Turkish adaptation of the original Belgian Lucky Luke comics created by Morris. In Turkey, the character’s name was changed to “Red Kit,” and the comic was printed in Turkish and in black and white. While the original European editions were in full color, the Turkish publisher reduced production costs by having local artists retrace the original illustrations onto acetate sheets, producing a black-and-white edition. This method resulted in artwork that differs visually from the European originals.

A distinctive and collectible feature of this Turkish edition is its cover art. Unlike the original Lucky Luke albums, the covers were newly drawn by Turkish artists, giving the series a unique visual identity and increasing its appeal among collectors.

This edition adapts the story from the original Lucky Luke album Les Collines noires. In addition, it includes an extra short story, Tonton ve Çocukları – Beklenmeyen Av, following the common editorial practice of including supplementary content to enrich the volume and increase its page count.
