Superman – Volume #3 – 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 #3, likely published around 1980 or 1981, features a cover illustrated by a Turkish artist and includes Issues #7, #8, and #9 of the original weekly series.

Issue #7 (cover based on Superman v1 #329) includes “İçimdeki Düşman” (Superman #329), alongside “Salgın Hastalık 2” (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #232), and “Bayan Pot” (Fuss Pot by Norman Mansbridge).

Issue #8 (cover based on Superman v1 #331) features “Süperman Adası” (Superman #331), together with “Salgın Hastalık” (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #232), and another installment of “Bayan Pot”.

Issue #9 (cover based on Superman v1 #332) includes “Hücre” (Superman #332), “Supergirl – Yerçekimi Savaşı” (Superman Family #192), and “Bayan Pot”.

This volume offers a well-rounded selection of stories, combining core Superman adventures with Legion and Supergirl narratives, as well as humor content, all within a uniquely localized Turkish edition
