Supermen – Issue #106 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (December 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 #106 features a cover adapted from Adventures of Superman #473 and was published in December 1992. It presents a diverse anthology that includes team-up stories, Aquaman-centered chapters, Green Lantern and additional classic Superman-related narratives from various DC titles.

The issue includes “Büyücüler Kralı” (World’s Finest #208 (15)), followed by a two-part Aquaman storyline from Action Comics: “Düşün, Yoksa Ölürsün” (Part 1 – #537) and “Denizde Savaş” (Part 2 – #540). It also features “İntikam” (Action Comics #657), “Uzayan Adamlar” (DC Comics Presents #93), and “Zaman İçinde Yolculuk” (Action Comics #486), offering a mix of underwater adventures, time-travel elements, and crossover team-up content.
