Spider-Man – Issue #165 – 1994 – Bilka Yayınları Turkish Edition
Description:
This comic is Issue #165 from the Spider-Man series published in Turkey by Bilka Yayınları between 1983 and 1995. Running for a total of 183 issues, this series remains one of the most comprehensive Turkish print runs for Marvel’s iconic web-slinger. Though the original American comics were in full color, these Turkish editions were printed entirely in black and white due to production costs. Turkish artists retraced the original artwork on acetate sheets, creating a distinct visual style that differs from the U.S. originals. Many covers were also uniquely illustrated by Turkish artists, providing additional collectible value.
This issue, published in 1994, features a cover drawn by a Turkish artist, continuing Bilka’s tradition of reinterpreting original Marvel covers for the Turkish audience.
The issue contains four major stories, highlighting a mix of action, suspense, and character-driven drama. It begins with “Kim Bu Adamlar?” (Web of SM #91 – “Making Amends Meet”), continues with “Ölüm Mangası” (Web of SM #92 – “Foreign Affairs”), followed by “Akrebin İğnesi” (Marvel Team-Up #106 – “A Savage Sting Has -- the Scorpion!”), and concluding with “Şimdi Ötekini Vur!..” (Spectacular SM #54 – “To Save the Smuggler!””). This combination of Web of SM, Marvel Team-Up, and Spectacular SM stories provides readers with a diverse narrative experience across multiple Marvel series.
Collectors will value this issue for its adapted cover art, inclusion of multiple classic Marvel stories, and the black-and-white reinterpretation that makes Bilka’s editions unique. The issue also showcases Turkish artists’ contributions in maintaining the essence of Marvel storytelling while adding a local visual touch.
