The series ran for a total of 14 issues and represents one of the earliest Turkish publications dedicated entirely to Marvel’s cosmic hero, the Silver Surfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"897\"\u003eUnlike the original American editions, which were printed in full color, the Turkish version was produced entirely in black and white. This decision was primarily made to reduce production costs. Instead of printing directly from the original color plates, the artwork was carefully retraced using tracing paper techniques, allowing the publisher to reproduce the iconic illustrations in monochrome form. As a result, these editions have a distinctive visual character that differs noticeably from their American counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1344\"\u003eThe physical format of the Turkish edition is also slightly smaller than the original U.S. comics, reflecting the printing standards commonly used by Turkish comic publishers during the 1980s. Despite these differences, the series holds a unique place in Turkish comic history, introducing readers to the philosophical and cosmic adventures of the Silver Surfer during a time when Marvel material was still relatively rare in the Turkish market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1846\"\u003eThe cover of this issue is based on Fantasy Masterpieces Vol. 2 issue #2, featuring Silver Surfer artwork adapted for the Turkish release. Inside, the issue includes several classic Silver Surfer stories originally published in the late 1960s, including segments from Silver Surfer (1968) issue #2 and issue #3. These stories continue the early adventures of the character, showcasing the cosmic scale and moral themes that made the Silver Surfer one of Marvel’s most unique and introspective heroes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1848\" data-end=\"2315\"\u003eA particularly interesting addition is the short comic “Gümüş Kıyakçı” by Turkish artist Yıldırım Örer. This piece is a parody interpretation of Silver Surfer created by a local cartoonist, offering a humorous and distinctly Turkish take on the famous Marvel character. Such locally produced parody content was occasionally included in Turkish comic publications of the era, adding a unique cultural layer that makes these editions especially appealing to collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2534\"\u003eFor collectors of international Marvel editions, this Turkish series is notable both for its unusual production method and for the rare combination of official Marvel material alongside locally created parody content.\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=\"2551\" data-end=\"2611\"\u003e• Series: Silver Surfer (Marvel Çizgi Roman Turkish Edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2613\" data-end=\"2630\"\u003e• Issue: issue #2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2632\" data-end=\"2663\"\u003e• Publisher: Marvel Çizgi Roman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2665\" data-end=\"2689\"\u003e• Publication Year: 1987\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2691\" data-end=\"2710\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2712\" data-end=\"2777\"\u003e• Printing: Black and white (adapted from original color artwork)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2779\" data-end=\"2852\"\u003e• Format Difference: Slightly smaller than the original U.S. comic format\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2854\" data-end=\"2935\"\u003e• Production Method: Artwork retraced using tracing paper for monochrome printing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2937\" data-end=\"3005\"\u003e• Cover Source: Fantasy Masterpieces Vol. 2 issue #2 (Silver Surfer)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3007\" data-end=\"3132\"\u003e• Included Stories: Silver Surfer (1968) issue #2 part 2; Silver Surfer (1968) issue #3; Silver Surfer (1968) issue #3 part 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3134\" data-end=\"3216\"\u003e• Additional Content: “Gümüş Kıyakçı” parody comic by Turkish artist Yıldırım Örer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3218\" data-end=\"3271\"\u003e• Series Scope: 14 issues published between 1987–1988\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47768761041034,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_58c8d06b-8d90-4dba-94d6-a85c2ff655fd.jpg?v=1772698789","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/silver-surfer-2-1987-turkish-comic-turkey-3-fantasy-masterpieces-2","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
