Founded in 1978 by Ali Recan, Alfa Yayınları was instrumental in bringing Tintin to Turkish readers, beginning publication in 1980 and continuing with multiple Tintin series throughout the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eThe comic is issued in softcover format and printed entirely in black and white. This was a cost-driven production decision rather than an artistic one. Since original Tintin albums had been published in full color internationally from 1941 onward, color printing in Turkey would have significantly increased production costs. To make the series economically viable, Alfa Yayınları reproduced the artwork in black and white, resulting in editions that today stand as representative examples of Turkish comic publishing practices of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eThis volume is Book Number 12 of Alfa Yayınları’s second Tintin series, marking the final book of the series.
