The Turkish Consortium dives into the Phantom very Popular in South America and Europe:
The Artwork History is impeccable: link to the Facebook group above:
The Phantom is an American adventure comic strip, first published by Lee Falk in February

1936. The main character, the Phantom, is a fictional costumed crime-fighter who operates
      from the fictional African country of Bangalla. The character has been adapted for
      television, film and video games.
      The series began with a daily newspaper strip on February 17, 1936, followed by a color Sunday
      strip on May 28, 1939; both are still running as of 2020. In 1966, King Features stated that The
      Phantom was being published in 583 newspapers worldwide.[1] At its peak, the strip was read by
      over 100 million people daily.[2][3]
      Falk worked on The Phantom until his death in 1999; since his death, the comic strip has been
      written by Tony DePaul. Since 2016, it has been drawn by Mike Manley (Monday–Saturday) and,
      since 2017, Jeff Weigel (Sunday).[4][5] Previous artists on the newspaper strip include Ray
      Moore, Wilson McCoy, Bill Lignante, Sy Barry, George Olesen, Keith Williams, Fred
      Fredericks, Graham Nolan, Eduardo Barreto, Paul Ryan, and Terry Beatty. In the strip, the
      Phantom was 21st in a line of crime-fighters which began in 1536, when the father of British
      sailor Christopher Walker was killed during a pirate attack. Swearing an oath on the skull of his
      father’s murderer to fight evil, Christopher began a legacy of the Phantom which would pass
      from father to son. Nicknames for the Phantom include “The Ghost Who Walks”, “Guardian of
      the Eastern Dark” and “The Man Who Cannot Die”.[6]
      Unlike many other superheroes, the Phantom has no superpowers; he totally relies on his
      strength, intelligence and the myth of his immortality to take action against the forces of evil.
      The 21st Phantom is married to Diana Palmer; they met while he studied in the United States
      and they have two children, Kit and Heloise. He has a trained wolf named Devil and a horse
      named Hero, and like the 20 previous Phantoms he lives in the ancient Skull Cave.
      The Phantom was the first fictional hero to wear the skintight costume which has become a
      hallmark of comic-book superheroes, and was the first shown in a mask with no
      visible pupils (another superhero standard).[6][7] Comics historian Peter Coogan has described
      the Phantom as a “transitional” figure, since the Phantom has some of the characteristics
      of pulp magazine heroes such as The Shadow and the Spider and earlier jungle heroes such
      as Tarzan, as well as anticipating the features of comic book heroes such as Superman, Batman,
      and Captain America.

Zagor was created in 1961 by writer Sergio Bonelli, the son of Gian Luigi Bonelli, author of
western character Tex Willer, and artist Gallieno Ferri, who has been working at Zagor’s stories
for more than fifty years.
Since its creation Zagor has been one of most popular Italian comics, alongside characters such
Tex Willer, Dylan Dog, Diabolik and Lupo Alberto. Zagor comics are a unique mixture of
classical western genre and other topics like pure adventure, fantasy, historical, and since he has
fought against vampires and aliens, even horror and science fiction.
His full battle name is Za-Gor Te-Nay, pretended to mean, in some fictional native American
language “The spirit with the hatchet”. Zagor embraces a philosophy of neutrality among races,
but, since his mission is to protect the weakest people against injustice, he often takes the side of
the Indians against the oppression of the white Americans.
He lives in a wooden hut built in a swamp, in the middle of the fictional Darkwood Forest,
located across the boundaries of three American states of the Midwest: Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Ohio. His stories are set in the first half of the nineteenth century, when the
American frontier began to move toward west.
O R IG I N
Patrick Wilding was born in Eastern United States in the early nineteenth century. Young Pat
grew happy and thoughtless in a house on the bank of the Clear Water River, together with his
beloved parents, Mike and Betty. His father, Mike Wilding, was a former Official of the US
Army who, after having distinguished in many battles, had left the violence of the military
campaigns to live in harmony with both Indians and whites, in a log cabin in the heart of the
Forest of Darkwood.
The dream of happiness of young Pat was shattered in a quiet summer day, when Mike,
breathless, barricaded himself in the house just before an unexplained attack by a tribe of
Abenaki natives, led by a renegade whose name was branded in the heart of the child: Salomon
Kinsky.
Young Pat burying his parents and swearing revenge
The Abenaki laid siege to the cabin and in spite of the fury and the courage with which the
child’s parents were fighting, their fate was already sealed. With heart full of hope little Pat was
entrusted to the waters of the river, and the faces of his parents furrowed with grief and
illuminated by the glow of burning logs were the last indelible image of them for the boy.
Patrick Wilding was picked up freezing and stunned by the man who would have been his guide
and master of his life, Nathaniel Fitzgeraldson. Some time later, He and Pat returned to the hut,
where they found the mangled remains of Mike and Betty.
Under the watchful eye of the concerned man, the young orphan buried his parents, and, his heart

Flash Gordon featured the eponymous athletic hero Flash, his girlfriend Dale, the mysterious Dr. Zarkov and their adventures on the exotic planet Mongo ruled by the evil Emperor Ming. Moore’s sharp, exciting writing combined with Raymond’s lush, detailed illustrations would launch the strip to the heights of popularity, quickly outpacing their well-established rivals.

Raymond worked on Flash Gordon for the next 10 years. Over that time his technique and composition evolved. The panels grew larger, and while that meant there were fewer panels per strip, the larger area allowed Raymond to create more detailed and dynamic scenes. Raymond also began to forgo the use of word balloons, instead presenting dialog and narrative as text at the bottom of the panel.

Dylan Dog is an Italian horror comics series created
by Tiziano Sclavi and published by Sergio Bonelli
Editore since 1986.
The series features the eponymous character, a paranormal investigator who takes on cases
involving supernatural elements such as ghosts, demons, vampires, undeads, werewolves and
other creatures, but also horrifying sociopathic criminals and serial killers. It defies the whole
preceding horror tradition with a vein of surrealism and an anti-bourgeois rhetoric. Dylan is
supported mainly by his trusty sidekick Groucho (a Groucho Marx lookalike) who adds humor
to this grisly genre and Dylan’s sombre temperament. The series is mainly set in London, where
the protagonist lives, though he occasionally travels elsewhere.

Mandrake’s powers were acquired through years of schooling in Tibet, where he began his studies during childhood. One of his teachers, Luciphor, later decided to use his powers for evil, adopted the name “Cobra”, and appeared in the strip as a recurring villain. Like many of comics’ origin stories, Mandrake’s has been subject to some embellishment over the years. It came to include an evil brother, Derek; a troublesome younger sister, Leonore; and a benign elderly master named Theron.

Mandrake is joined in his adventures by Lothar, American comics’ first seriously-treated black character. Although he is by birth an African prince, Lothar prefers his position as Mandrake’s valet and bodyguard. As years went by and America’s consciousness was raised, Lothar lost most of his accent and became more a friend and companion than a valet — but right from the start, he was treated as an intelligent man and a valuable ally.

Mandrake’s other companion is Narda, also of royal blood. She, like Lothar, prefers Mandrake’s company to her birthright as princess of Cockaigne, a mythical European pocket kingdom. Her engagement to Mandrake lasted longer than most marriages, but they finally tied the knot in 1998.

Mandrake has had only limited success outside of newspaper strips

The tale of the Phantom was a blend of mystical elements and realism. Drawing on the influences of classic literature, mythology, history, current events, and theatre, Falk provided something for everyone.

The origin story began with Christopher Standish, who once served as Christopher Columbus’ cabin boy, now acting as captain of a commerce vessel attacked by pirates. His young son, Kit, the sole survivor of the ordeal, sees his father slain by the pirate leader. Washing up on a distant African shore, Kit is befriended by the Bandar, a tribe of friendly pygmies. There he dwells in a cave which resembles a human skull. After discovering the body of the pirate who murdered his father, Kit swears an oath on the skull of the killer. His promise to fight piracy and injustice is carried out by his descendants for 400 years making him seem immortal to all but the pygmies.

Kinowa is an Italian comic book series created by Andrea Lavezzolo and EsseGesse.
Background

The Western comic series debuted in May 1950, with text by Andrea Lavezzolo (who signed the comics with the pen name A. Lawson) and artwork by the trio EsseGesse (Pietro Sartoris, Dario Guzzon and Giovanni Sinchetto), at their debut.[1] When Essegesse passed to draw other comics – as Blek Macigno and Captain Miki – the stories of Kinowa were illustrated by Pietro Gamba.[2] The main character of the series is Sam Boyle, a man that, scalped and left for dead after an attack on the convoy in which perished his wife and son, builds a duck skin mask with the likeness of the devil and, turned into the avenging spirit Kinowa, persecutes the descendants of his attackers.[1]
The comics had a significant success in Turkey, where Kinowa became protagonist, between 1971 ad 1972, of three western-adventure films (Kinova – Demir Yumruk, Kara Seytan – Kinova 2 and Kam^ili Kadin – Kinova 3).[3] It is considered as the initiator of the Italian western-gothic subgenre.[4]

Literature Review

When the first Conan of Cimmeria story appeared in the pages of Weird Tales magazine in December 1932, nothing quite like it had ever before appeared in print.

Author Robert E. Howard had been writing stories broadly similar to it for half a decade; but it was with Conan, and the Hyborian Age story world in which he was placed, that Howard finally fully doped out the sub-genre that would become known as “sword and sorcery,” of which Howard is today considered the founding father. Conan’s origins date back to a literary experiment Howard penned in 1926 titled “The Shadow Kingdom,” featuring a new character: Kull, exile of Atlantis. The idea—Howard’s great innovation—was, at its core, historical fiction set in a faux-historical era, about which most or all of the details are “lost in the mists of time.”

That faux-historical period could contain anything Howard might like to include: evil races of sentient snake-things, sorcerers, undead creatures, demons walking upon the earth, anything. In other words, Howard was creating a secular mythology. And as with any mythology, secular or no, there would be a hero, a Ulysses or a Theseus, an exceptional man of legend striding through that myth-world, sword in hand, righting wrongs and slaying supernatural monsters and, along the way, providing metaphorical insight onto his world and ours. The trouble was, as Howard would soon discover, he’d gone too far into the past. The Thurian Age, as Kull’s milieu was named, had so little in common with the modern world that it might as well have been staged on another planet. No reader was going to feel a personal connection to

it, or be tempted to indulge the fantasy that it was a real part of the world’s history. Historical fiction draws much of its power from a sense of connection to the real world of long ago. That source of power was foreclosed to the Thurian Age; it was just too far distant in time. Nonetheless, “The Shadow Kingdom” was well received. But Weird Tales rejected several follow-up Kull stories. At roughly the same time, Howard’s Texas-style talltale-liar humor stories about the prizefighting sailor Steve Costigan were taking off like a rocket in Fight Stories magazine. So Howard dropped the Kull project after just a handful of attempts so that he could focus more energy on Costigan. At the same time, though, he was finding success with another historical-fiction-fusion innovation: The grim, savage English Puritan Solomon Kane. Kane’s world was the skull-strewn chaos of Europe and north Africa during the Thirty Years War, in the early 1600s. Little enough is known about specific events during that dark time that it was possible to take historical liberties with it as a storyworld, so that it could accommodate dark magic, walking skeletons, vampires, magic staffs, and, of course, N’Longa the witch-doctor. Howard quickly realized he was onto something with Solomon Kane. The first Solomon Kane story, “Red Shadows,” appeared in August 1928 in Weird Tales, and readers loved it. Here was a dark, brooding world of menace and witchcraft connected pseudo-genealogically to their own. It was easy for readers to “take the ride”—to suspend their disbelief and envision Kane’s adventures as a part of the real world. But, perhaps the connection with the real world was too close. The countries of 1630s Europe are well known; the causes of the conflict fully understood. There was only so much Howard could do in Solomon Kane’s world; and the fact that he sent his hero into “Darkest Africa” directly, in the very first story, suggests that he may have been feeling the weight of those constraints. Moreover, Solomon Kane is just a hard character to root for. Unlike Kull, he is, not to put too fine a point on it, really not a sane man. So it makes perfect sense that after the shadowy, prehistoric world of Kull and the dark, necromantic world of Solomon Kane, Howard would combine these two precursors to develop a world that was far enough into the distant past to be free of actual historical constraints—like Kull’s—yet close enough to the present to still exist as echoes and legends in the world’s mythologies. And so Howard created The Hyborian Age: an era some 12,000 years before the present, all archaeological traces of which have since been wiped out by a global cataclysm that hurled all of humanity back into stone-age barbarism, leaving only vague hints in ancient myths and a few modern echoes in the names of nations and peoples: Britain, once Brythunia; Aquitaine, once Aquilonia; Stygia; Corinthia; Shem; Æsgard. And to play the role of our avatar as we explore this shadowy, almost-historical world, Howard gave us Conan the Cimmerian.

The first adventure of this talented warrior was published in Günaydın newspaper in 1971.

The creator of Kara Murat is Rahmi Turan, who was the Editor-in-Chief of Günaydın Newspaper at that time. However, he used the pseudonym Rahmi Muratoğlu in the work. The visual creator of Kara Murat is Abdullah Turhan.

A total of 21 adventures of Kara Murat were published in Günaydın Newspaper from 1971 to 1988, not counting the re-adventures published under different names. 20 of these adventures were drawn by Abdullah Turhan. After Abdullah Turhan parted ways with Rahmi Turan, Kara Murat’s last adventure, The She-Devil, was drawn by Süleyman Gök.
