Supermen – Issue #24 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (Circa 1984)

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 #24 features a cover illustrated by a Turkish artist and centers heavily on Superman and Supergirl narratives. It brings together a mix of Superman continuity along with Supergirl’s early solo stories from the relaunch period of the character in the DC Universe.

The issue includes “Öldü, Herşey Bitti” (Superman #383), a Superman-focused storyline, alongside a multi-part Supergirl arc from The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #1–3, titled “İnanılır Gibi Değil,” “Hayır Lütfen Dur,” and “Bırak Beni Süper Kız.” These stories highlight Supergirl’s independent adventures and character development. Additionally, “Cinayet Şebekesi” from Action Comics #533 adds another Superman-universe narrative, contributing to the anthology format of the issue.
