Supermen – Issue #126 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (August 1994)

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 #126 features a cover adapted from Superman #57 (1991) and was published in August 1994. The issue presents a three-part Superman storyline alongside an additional classic Superman-era story.

The contents include the multi-part arc: “Yokedici” (1. Bölüm – Superman (1987) #57), “Ölümü Koş” (2. Bölüm – Adventures of Superman (1987) #480), and “Kontrol Bende” (3. Bölüm – Action Comics (1938) #667). It also features “Bataklık Hayaleti” (Superman (1939) #301), combining modern continuity with earlier classic material in a single anthology.
