Supermen – Issue #89 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (July 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 #89 features a cover adapted from Action Comics #647 and was published in July 1991. It brings together a mix of crossover content from DC Comics Presents alongside classic Action Comics and Superman stories.

The issue includes “Kaplan Adamlar” (DC Comics Presents #64), followed by two entries from Action Comics #519 (T8): “Dünyamızı Yedi” and “Bir Aşk Masalı.” It continues with “Büyük Hesaplaşma” (DC Comics Presents #95), and concludes with “Seni Öldürecekler” (Superman #290), offering a blend of team-up stories, thematic narratives, and classic Superman action.
