Betmen (Batman) Series, 1967 – Issue 1 of 11

3

Published by Ceylan Yayınları in 1967, this is the first issue of a 11-part comic series featuring the character widely known as Batman, here presented under the transliterated Turkish spelling “Betmen.” The series reflects how international comic characters were localized for Turkish audiences during the period, both in naming and presentation. “Betmen” represents a phonetic adaptation of the English pronunciation, used consistently across the publication.
