SMURFS IN TURKEY |
|
|
|
|
|
Smurfs (Schtroumpfs) reportedly (�izgili Hayat K�lavuzu, p. 212) made their first appearance in Turkey in the 1960s in a bootleg strip, signed by �smet K�rdar, titled as 'Tokmak' ran in Bug�n daily. A traced, b&w version of La faim des Schtroumpfs was serialized in the inside of the covers of the weekly Red Kit, the unlicensed black&white Turkish edition of Lucky Luke, beginning with no. 7 (20.7.1966). Some of Johann & Pirlout's adventures with Smurfs as supporting characters were also published in the weekly K���k Prens comics magazine, the similar unlicensed black&white Turkish edition of J&P, in the same decade. However, the Smurfs' proper Turkish debut came in 1973 in the pages of Do�an Karde�, a major children's weekly magazine. Until it folded in 1978, Do�an Karde� serialized most of Smurfs's earlier adventures. Here is the complete (except for one-page gags) list of Smurf stories published in this magazine: |

In, 1995 AD Yay�nc�l�k began publishing the monthly �irinler (Smurfs) magazine which lasted until 2000 with 56 issues. Beginning with the second half of the 1990s, several series of illustrated Smurf story books were published in Turkey by Milliyet-Egmont (earlier known as AD, later renamed as Do�an-Egmont). A small sized series started in circa 1996 (perhaps 1995?) and ran for 20 books. A larger sized series titled as 'B�y�kbaba �irinden �yk�ler' (Stories from Grandpa Smuf) which started in 1996 ran at least 4 books. In 1998, a new small sized series, which carried Do�an-Egmont (D-E) flagship, ran for more than 30 books. D-E also published six Smurf comics books, each containing three short adventures. In these years, the animated Smurfs tv series was also broadcased in the Do�an Holding's Kanal D network. In 2001, D-E published a new larger sized illustrated story books series, some containing illustrated text versions of classic Smurf comics. Meanwhile, several episodes of the Smurfs tv series were released in vcd and dvd formats (earlier, several episodes had been released on vhs format as well).
Currently, Smurfs appear in Mi�o, the weekly children's supplement of the daily Milliyet newspaper, with one-page gags. |
