It was released by Alfa Yayınları as part of its second Tintin series in the mid-1980s. Founded in 1978 by Ali Recan, Alfa Yayınları played a major role in establishing Tintin’s popularity in Turkey, beginning publication in 1980 and continuing with multiple Tintin series throughout the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003eThe comic is presented in a softcover format and printed entirely in black and white. This production choice was dictated by economic considerations rather than artistic intent. Since original Tintin albums had been published in full color internationally from 1941 onward, producing color editions in Turkey would have significantly increased printing costs. To keep the books affordable and widely accessible, Alfa Yayınları reproduced the artwork in black and white, creating editions that today reflect the realities of Turkish comic publishing during the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003eThis volume is Book Number 15 of Alfa Yayınları’s second Tintin series, making it one of the later releases in the series. As part of the mid-1980s Alfa Yayınları Tintin run, it is an essential piece for collectors seeking a complete set of this historically significant Turkish edition.\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=\"1539\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003e• Title: The Calculus Affair (\u003cem data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003eCasuslara Karşı\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1617\"\u003e• Series: Tintin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1699\"\u003e• Series Position: Book Number 15 of Alfa Yayınları’s second Tintin series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1701\" data-end=\"1722\"\u003e• Author: Hergé\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1757\"\u003e• Publisher: Alfa Yayınları\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"1805\"\u003e• Year of Turkish publication: Mid-1980s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1807\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1882\"\u003e• Format: Softcover, black and white comic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1884\" data-end=\"1987\"\u003e• Printing Context: Black and white reproduction due to the high cost of color printing in Turkey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47552005374090,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_8a0e3140-0882-4ce8-afb6-1bb7b43a1ddf.jpg?v=1767874687","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/tintin-the-calculus-affair-mid-1980s-turkish-edition-comic-turkey-1","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
