Robin Hood 1962 Turkish Comic Turkey Classics Illustrated

Robin Hood – “Robin Hood” (Turkish Edition, Gür Yayınevi, 1962)

Description:

This comic book is a Turkish adaptation of the well-known American Classics Illustrated series. Although the original American editions were printed in full color, this Turkish version was produced in black and white due to the high cost of color printing in Turkey at the time.

Published in 1962 by Gür Yayınevi, this edition belongs to a rare and early Turkish comic series inspired directly by Classics Illustrated. As the second book in the series, it represents an important example of how classic literary stories were localized for Turkish readers during the early 1960s.

The story of Robin Hood focuses on the legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest, highlighting themes of justice, rebellion against oppression, and loyalty. Despite the limitations of black-and-white printing, the visual storytelling remains strong and closely aligned with the original Classics Illustrated structure.

Because of its early publication date, limited print runs, and connection to one of the most influential comic series in history, this edition is especially desirable for collectors of vintage Turkish comics and Classics Illustrated adaptations.
