Supermen – Issue #105 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (November 1992)
Description:
This issue belongs to the “Supermen” extra series published by Bilka Yayınları between 1982 and 1994, consisting of a total of 143 issues. The series was later republished under the title “Süper Seri” in 80 collected volumes. The name “Supermen” reflects the localized Turkish usage of the character’s name during that era.
These albums typically compile multiple stories into a single issue, often without following the original American publication order. The series includes not only core Superman stories but also broader DC content, offering readers a varied selection of adventures. Many of the covers were uniquely illustrated by Turkish artists, making them distinct from their American counterparts and highly collectible.
Although original U.S. editions were printed in full color, most of this Turkish series was printed in black and white due to high production costs. Early issues sometimes featured partial color printing; however, this issue is printed in black and white.
This Issue #105 features a cover adapted from Adventures of Superman #457 and was published in November 1992. The issue compiles several interconnected and standalone stories drawn from different Superman titles, spanning Superman’s main continuity and related narratives.
The contents include “Siyah Kemer” (1. Bölüm) from Superman (1987) #48, “Onu Öldürürüz” (2. Bölüm) from Adventures of Superman (1987) #471, and “Sinbat'ı Durdurun” (3. Bölüm) from Action Comics (1938) #658. It also features “Mucize Adam” from Superman (1939) #352 and “Yoksa, Onu Öldürürüm” from Superman (1939) #402, bringing together a mix of modern-era and classic-era Superman stories within a single volume.
