Supermen – Issue #87 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (May 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 #87 features a cover adapted from Superman #42 (1987 2nd Series) and was published in May 1991. It includes a selection of standalone stories along with a Superboy title and content tied to Metropolis.

The issue includes “İntikam Hırsı” (Action Comics #650), followed by “Son Karar” (The New Adventures of Superboy #1), which introduces a Superboy-centered narrative. It also features “Bravo Süpermen” (World of Metropolis #4), and concludes with “Süper Köpek” (Superman #287), providing a mix of character-focused and thematic stories across different corners of the Superman universe.
