Supermen – Issue #114 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (August 1993)
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 #114 features a cover adapted from Suicide Squad (1987–1992) #59 and was published in August 1993. The issue presents a mix of classic Superman material, Justice League content, and a multi-part DC Comics Presents storyline compiled within a single volume.
The contents include “Yapay Yaratıklar” (Superman (1939) #379), “Sakallı Canavar” (Justice League of America Vol. 1 #104), and a three-part storyline from DC Comics Presents (1978) #3: “Yer Değiştiren Dünya” (Part 1), “Bir Günlük Kahraman” (Part 2), and “Eşsiz Gösteri” (Part 3). It also features “Prana’nın Güçleri” (Action Comics #504), combining team-up adventures, serialized storytelling, and classic Superman-era narratives.
