Supermen – Issue #29 – 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 #29 features a Turkish artist–drawn cover and is noted for its Superman and Blackhawk themed cover presentation. The issue brings together stories not only from Superman continuity but also from other DC characters, including Wonder Woman and Legion of Super-Heroes material.

The issue includes “Dün ve Bugün” (Superman #380) and “Bu Superman’in İşi” (Superman #382), followed by “Prenses Diana” (Wonder Woman #267) and “Ölüler Yardım Edemez” (Wonder Woman #268). It also contains character introduction material for “Üstün Güçler Federasyonu,” featuring Legion of Super-Heroes profiles.
