Superman #83 1991 Turkish Comic Turkey #30 Justice League of America Annual #2

Supermen – Issue #83 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (January 1991)

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 #83 features a cover adapted from Superman #25 (1987 2nd Series) and was published in January 1991. It includes a combination of a Justice League annual story and a multi-part Superman narrative spanning several issues.

The issue begins with “O Da Kim?” (Justice League of America Annual #2), followed by a four-part Superman storyline: “Bu Asla Olmayacak” (Part 1 – Superman #30), “Lex’in Planı” (Part 2 – Adventures of Superman #453), “Zehir Hapı” (Part 3 – Superman #31), and “Oyunun Sonu” (Part 4 – Adventures of Superman #454). It concludes with “Dünyaya Dönüş” (Action Comics #643), rounding out the collection with a standalone Superman adventure.
