Martin Mystère: Atlantis – Issue #23, Turkish Edition, Tay Yayınları (Büyük Albüm Serisi) 80s

Description:

This is Martin Mystère: Atlantis Issue #23, part of the Büyük Albüm Serisi published in Turkish by Tay Yayınları in the late 1980s. Printed in black and white, this series ran for a total of 41 issues in Turkey. Each issue typically includes two separate Martin Mystère stories, offering readers a double-feature format.

One of the most distinctive aspects of this Turkish edition is its cover artwork, which was illustrated by Turkish artists rather than using the original Italian covers. This makes the series particularly collectible, as the covers are unique to the Turkish print run.

Martin Mystère, created in 1982 by Alfredo Castelli and Giancarlo Alessandrini, is a cult Italian comic series centered on historical mysteries, lost civilizations, and unexplained phenomena. Unlike traditional detectives, Martin Mystère investigates secrets of human history, ancient myths, and paranormal events.

This issue includes two stories: “Dorian Gray Operasyonu” (Operazione Dorian Gray – Martin Mystère #63), a story inspired by the classic literary theme of eternal youth and hidden identity, and “Uzaylı İstilacılar – Part 1” (Space Invaders – Martin Mystère #65), which begins a science fiction storyline involving extraterrestrial threats and a potential invasion scenario.
