Superman – Volume #2 – TekOfset A.Ş. Turkish Collected Edition (1980/1981)

Description:

This collected volume is part of the Turkish Superman series originally published weekly by TekOfset A.Ş. between 1979 and 1980. A total of 56 individual issues were released, later compiled into approximately 20 collected volumes. In addition to Superman stories, the series also featured adventures of Superboy, Supergirl, and the Legion of the Super-Heroes, offering a broader representation of the DC Universe.

One of the most distinctive aspects of this series is its cover artwork. All covers were uniquely illustrated by Turkish artists, making them different from the original American editions and especially appealing to collectors. Although the original comics were printed in color in the United States, this Turkish edition was produced in black and white due to high production costs at the time.

This Volume #2 features a cover based on Superman (1939) #331 and includes Issues #4, #5, and #6 of the original weekly series. The exact publication year is not specified, but it is estimated to have been released around 1980 or 1981.

Issue #4 (cover based on Superman v1 #326) includes “Gizli Kimliğim” (Superman #326), alongside “Kara Çember Çetesi: Khundluların İstilası” (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #244), and an additional story titled “Cincır” (likely adapted from Ginger).

Issue #5 (cover based on Superman v1 #327) features “Metropolis Kentini Yok Eden Kum Fırtınası” (Superman #327), together with “Savaşın Esrarı” (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #244), and another installment of “Cincır”.

Issue #6 (cover based on Superman v1 #328) includes “Kriptonidlerin Hücumu” (Superman #328) and “Ölmeyen Hastalık” (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #232).

This volume offers a compact collection of early issues from the series, combining multiple storylines and characters within a single edition, and preserving the unique Turkish presentation of classic DC material.
