Superman #70 1989 Turkish Comic Turkey Adventures of #432-#434 DC Comics Presents #48

Supermen – Issue #70 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (December 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 #70 features a cover illustrated by Turkish artist Atilla and was published in December 1989. It presents a sequence of connected stories from the Adventures of Superman series alongside additional crossover material.

The issue includes a three-part storyline from Adventures of Superman: “Acil Durum” (#432), “Onu Bırakın, Dedim” (#433), and “Lütfen Beni Bırakma” (#434), forming a continuous narrative arc. It also features “Seni Mahvedeceğim” (DC Comics Presents #48) and “Süpermen Ödülü” (Action Comics #367), adding standalone and crossover elements to the issue.
