The series consisted of a total of 21 issues. The first seven releases were printed in a thicker, volume-like format, while starting from Issue #8 the publisher switched to a slimmer single-issue format with fewer pages. This particular release corresponds to the early thicker format and includes the contents of Issue #10, Issue #11, and Issue #12 in one volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eThor is one of Marvel Comics’ most iconic superheroes, inspired by the Norse god of thunder. In Marvel’s universe, Thor is the powerful prince of Asgard and the son of Odin, wielding the enchanted hammer Mjölnir which grants him immense strength and the ability to control lightning and storms. The character blends mythology with superhero storytelling and often deals with conflicts involving gods, cosmic forces, and powerful villains. Since his introduction in the early 1960s, Thor has become a central figure within the Marvel Universe and has appeared in numerous comics, animated series, and blockbuster films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1530\"\u003eAlthough the original American comics were printed in full color, this Turkish edition was produced in black and white in order to reduce printing costs. In addition, the artwork was reproduced by tracing the original drawings onto acetate sheets before being printed, a method commonly used in some Turkish comic publications of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1684\"\u003eThe cover of this issue reproduces the artwork from The Mighty Thor #195.

The unusual printing method, black-and-white adaptation, and thick album-style early issues make the first volumes particularly distinctive within the history of Turkish comic publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1020\" data-start=\"1001\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2308\" data-end=\"2324\"\u003e• Series: Thor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2326\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003e• Issue: Issue #4 (includes Issues #10–12)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2406\"\u003e• Original Series: The Mighty Thor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2408\" data-end=\"2445\"\u003e• Turkish Publisher: Alfa Yayınları\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2447\" data-end=\"2480\"\u003e• Publication Period: 1985–1988\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2482\" data-end=\"2522\"\u003e• Publication Year of This Issue: 1985\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2524\" data-end=\"2545\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2547\" data-end=\"2576\"\u003e• Printing: Black and white\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2638\"\u003e• Original Format: Originally printed in color in the U.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2640\" data-end=\"2726\"\u003e• Production Method: Artwork traced onto acetate sheets for black-and-white printing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2728\" data-end=\"2766\"\u003e• Cover Source: The Mighty Thor #195\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2768\" data-end=\"2823\"\u003e• Included Original Stories: The Mighty Thor #193–196\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2825\" data-end=\"2870\"\u003e• Genre: Superhero \/ Mythological adventure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2872\" data-end=\"2909\"\u003e• Series Scope in Turkey: 21 issues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2911\" data-end=\"3053\"\u003e• Collector Appeal: Early Turkish Marvel publication with unique reproduction method and thick album-style format for the first seven issues\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47791093743754,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_0a3ad0b1-4b06-444e-b575-fc5063c59a55.jpg?v=1773230600","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/thor-4-1985-turkish-comic-turkey-the-mighty-thor-193-196-silver-surfer","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
