Supermen – Issue #48 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (Circa 1987)

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 #48 features a cover illustrated by Turkish artist Eralp and presents a selection of Superman, Wonder Woman, and crossover stories compiled from various DC titles.

The issue includes “Bu Dünya Benim” (DC Comics Presents #94) and “Seni Kurtaracağım” (DC Comics Presents #74), alongside “Kobranın Tehdidi” (Wonder Woman #272). It also features two stories from the same Superman issue: “Sihirli Kavallar” and “Artık İnanıyorum” (both from Superman #405), offering a mix of standalone and complementary narratives.
