It was released by Alfa Yayınları as part of its second Tintin series during the mid-1980s. Founded in 1978 by Ali Recan, Alfa Yayınları was one of the most prolific publishers of Tintin in Turkey, issuing numerous Tintin titles throughout the 1980s after beginning publication in 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"1288\"\u003eThe comic is presented in softcover format and printed entirely in black and white. This production method was driven by economic necessity rather than artistic choice. Since original Tintin albums had been published in full color internationally from 1941 onward, producing color editions in Turkey would have involved considerably higher printing costs. To keep the books accessible to a wider audience, Alfa Yayınları reproduced the artwork in black and white, resulting in editions that are now recognized as characteristic products of Turkish comic publishing in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1805\"\u003eThis volume is Book Number 20 of Alfa Yayınları’s second Tintin series, marking the final book of the series. Its collectible value is further enhanced by the presence of multiple publisher advertisements: the back cover features an advertisement for the Thor comic, while the final pages include advertisements for Captain America and Conan, both published by Alfa Yayınları. These advertisements offer valuable insight into the publisher’s broader comic lineup and the popular titles of the era.\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=\"1828\" data-end=\"1889\"\u003e• Title: Tintin and the Picaros (\u003cem data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1886\"\u003ePikaros Gerillaları\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"1913\"\u003e• Series: Tintin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1995\"\u003e• Series Position: Book Number 20 of Alfa Yayınları’s second Tintin series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1997\" data-end=\"2018\"\u003e• Author: Hergé\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2053\"\u003e• Publisher: Alfa Yayınları\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2101\"\u003e• Year of Turkish publication: Mid-1980s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2128\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2130\" data-end=\"2178\"\u003e• Format: Softcover, black and white comic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003e• Printing Context: Black and white reproduction due to the high cost of color printing in Turkey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2406\"\u003e• Additional Content: Back cover \u003cem data-start=\"2322\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003eThor\u003c\/em\u003e advertisement and interior advertisements for \u003cem data-start=\"2375\" data-end=\"2392\"\u003eCaptain America\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem data-start=\"2397\" data-end=\"2404\"\u003eConan\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47554531688586,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_051537f5-42ec-4a1d-a3ef-204d0b416927.jpg?v=1767960759","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/tintin-tintin-and-the-picaros-mid-1980s-turkish-edition-comic-turkey-1","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
