Supermen – Issue #99 – Bilka Yayınları Extra Series (May 1992)

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 #99 features a cover adapted from Action Comics #661 and was published in May 1992. The issue brings together multiple narratives from different titles, including classic Action Comics segments and stories featuring Supergirl and Superman.

The contents include “Yoksa Çıldırıyor Muyum?” (Part 1) and “Kent'in Gizli Kimlikleri” (Part 2), both from Action Comics (1938) #507–508. It also features “Cehennem Tanrıçası” (Supergirl) from The Superman Family #218, and “Parazit” from Superman Album 7 (Germany – Ehapa, 1983), combining serialized storytelling with international and character-spanning content.
