Supermen – Issue #62 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (April 1989)

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 #62 features a cover illustrated by Turkish artist Atilla and was published in April 1989. It presents a diverse anthology that includes Justice League, Batman, and Superman-related stories compiled from multiple DC titles.

The issue includes “Ay Savaşları” (Justice League of America #155), “Sihirli Kitap” (Action Comics #567), “Penguen” (Batman – Brave and the Bold #166), “Supermen’e Ne Oldu?” (Action Comics #589), and “Hala Ölmedi” (Action Comics #572). These stories bring together team-based adventures, classic Batman content, and multiple Superman narratives within a single volume.
