Supermen – Issue #71 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (January 1990)

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 #71 features a cover illustrated by a Turkish artist and was published in January 1990. It brings together a special crossover story alongside additional Superman adventures from different series.

The issue includes “Dünya İçin” (Superman vs. Muhammad Ali – All-New Collectors’ Edition #56), one of the most iconic crossover stories in comic history. It is accompanied by “Ben Farklıyım” (Adventures of Superman #435) and “Kalenin Esrarı” (Action Comics #572), offering a mix of special edition content and classic Superman narratives.
