Volto Nascosto – Volume 1 – 1001 Roman Yayınevi Turkish Edition (2010)

Description:

This book is Volume 1 from the Turkish edition of Volto Nascosto, published by 1001 Roman Yayınevi between 2010 and 2012. The publisher released the series in a total of seven volumes, with each volume compiling two issues from the original Italian series into a single book format.

Volto Nascosto (Italian: “Hidden Face”) is a historical adventure comic written by Gianfranco Manfredi and originally published by Sergio Bonelli Editore, one of the most influential publishers in Italian comic history. The series stands out for its combination of historical fiction, political intrigue, and large-scale adventure storytelling, elements commonly associated with Bonelli publications.

Set in the late nineteenth century, the narrative moves between Rome, Ethiopia, and Eritrea during a period of colonial expansion and geopolitical tension in East Africa. The story explores the cultural and political conflicts that emerged as European powers attempted to extend their influence over the region.

At the center of the story is the mysterious figure known as Volto Nascosto, a charismatic Islamic warrior and prophet whose face is concealed behind a distinctive silver mask. Within the narrative he becomes a symbolic leader of resistance, guiding Ethiopian forces against foreign invaders while inspiring both fear and admiration among allies and enemies alike. The character’s enigmatic identity and ideological motivations form one of the central narrative threads of the series.

This first Turkish volume includes the first two issues of the original Italian run. As with other releases from 1001 Roman Yayınevi, the book is printed in black and white and follows the classic Bonelli-style presentation format. By compiling two original issues per volume, the Turkish edition offers readers a convenient collected format while preserving the pacing and structure of the original storytelling.
