Treasure Island – Robert Louis Stevenson Turkish Comic Turkey Grandes Aventuras

Treasure Island – “Define Adası” (Turkish Edition, Milliyet Çocuk Supplement, 1989)

Description:

This comic book is the Turkish edition of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, published under the title Define Adası. It was released in 1989 as part of the “Dünya Klasikleri” line, distributed as a special supplement with Milliyet Çocuk magazine and sponsored by Türk Ticaret Bankası.

This publication is the Turkish adaptation of the Spanish comic series “Grandes Aventuras” published by Ediciones B. The series is known for adapting famous literary works into comic book form, making classic adventure stories accessible and engaging for younger readers.

Printed in full color and in Turkish, this edition was produced in a smaller format, consistent with magazine supplements of the late 1980s. The comic captures the spirit of Stevenson’s original adventure novel, featuring pirates, treasure maps, and high-seas adventure, presented in a visually dynamic and reader-friendly style.

This issue is particularly appealing to collectors interested in Turkish children’s publications, international comic adaptations of classic adventure literature, and culturally sponsored magazine supplements from the late 1980s.
