Supermen – Issue #82 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (December 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 #82 features a cover adapted from Superman #35 (Spanish series) and was published in December 1990. It presents a mix of connected story arcs and standalone material from multiple DC titles.

The issue includes a two-part storyline: “Artık İşin Bitti” (Superman #19) and “Başın Dertte” (Adventures of Superman #442). It also features “Korkunç ve İnanılmaz” (Action Comics #548–549), a longer adventure spanning two issues, and “Bu İş Bitti” (The Superman Family #217), adding a character-focused conclusion to the collection.
