Supermen – Issue #135 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (May 1995)

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 #135 features a cover adapted from DC Comics Presents #27 (1980) featuring Manhunter from Mars and the first appearance of Mongul, and was published in May 1995. The issue compiles a multi-part Justice League of America storyline along with additional Superman and Supergirl-related content.

The contents include a three-part Justice League arc: “Ateş Fırtınası” (Part 1 – Justice League of America (1960) #179), “Satanni'nin Kızı” (Part 2 – #180), and “Yıldızlar Hakimi” (Part 3 – #181). It also features “Süpermen Yardım Et” (Superman (1939) #388) and “Süperkız Sen Ağlıyorsun” (Supergirl) from Adventure Comics (1938) #409, combining team-based storytelling with individual Superman and Supergirl narratives.
