Published between December 13, 1951, and June 5, 1952, this series marks the very first time a Tintin story was published in Turkey under its original name. Each issue included one page of the Tintin story, and across all 26 issues, the full adventure was completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003eDue to \u003cem data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"768\"\u003eDoğan Kardeş\u003c\/em\u003e’s editorial stance at the time, which was largely opposed to traditional comic books, the Tintin story was deliberately adapted into a picture-story format, with extensive explanatory text added beneath the panels. This resulted in a unique narrative structure unlike any other Tintin publication. To further align with local storytelling traditions, several characters were reinterpreted: Captain Haddock was presented as Tintin’s uncle, while Professor Calculus was introduced as his father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eThe magazines were printed in black and white and softcover, primarily due to economic constraints. As original Tintin albums had been published in color since 1941, full-color printing was prohibitively expensive in Turkey, leading publishers to reproduce the artwork in black and white. Today, finding the complete story across all 26 original issues is extremely difficult, making this set one of the rarest and most important Tintin-related collectibles in Turkey.\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=\"1771\" data-end=\"1821\"\u003e• Title: Tintin in Congo (\u003cem data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"1818\"\u003eTenten Kongo’da\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1876\"\u003e• Publication: Doğan Kardeş Children’s Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1878\" data-end=\"1921\"\u003e• Total Issues: Complete 26-issue set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1923\" data-end=\"1982\"\u003e• Publication Dates: December 13, 1951 – June 5, 1952\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1984\" data-end=\"2026\"\u003e• Format: Softcover, black and white\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2053\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2148\"\u003e• Historical Importance: First Tintin story published in Turkey under its original name\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2150\" data-end=\"2260\"\u003e• Unique Adaptation: Rewritten as a picture-story with extensive text due to anti-comic editorial policy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2365\"\u003e• Character Reinterpretation: Captain Haddock as Tintin’s uncle, Professor Calculus as his father\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2367\" data-end=\"2460\"\u003e• Printing Background: Black and white reproduction due to high costs of color printing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2462\" data-end=\"2564\"\u003e• Rarity: One of the hardest-to-find Tintin publications in Turkey, especially as a complete set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541440675978,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_807f9361-845c-4260-b205-7f1d5dde9afb.jpg?v=1767688462","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/tintin-in-congo-1951-1952-complete-26-issue-set-turkish-edition-comic-turkey","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
