The covers of comics in Turkey based on working hard, but for copied from outside. Because the problematic Turkish Culture has not based on art but based on converting like they have done Christian structures.

Turks have thought that superficiality about approaching of them towards to culture could become unimportant if they copied a culture.

They have thought that an object or subject can be adopted if it has not been valued before as defining as inside of their culture. But they have forgotten that they not knowing what it is the meaning of them culture.

The emblem of comics publisher Tay Yayınları is has taken from coat of arms of the commune of Saint-Lô (Saint-Laud) and Saint-Jean-de-Bournay, but it is also representing a rightist party that is the base of the nationalist paramilitary organization in Turkey. The name of this party is Adalet Partisi

These meaning this publisher is preparation the children to be rightist and it is known that the nationalist paramilitary organization has been based on these.

As it was defined before, Turks have used this covers when they divided to Cyprus.

The fictional characters can be helpful to find an identity for children, but nationalism can be captured these children to maintain fictiveness and make the children sleep.

They have used this because this is representing of their character:

The name of this book has used as The Spies of Cyprus and Turkish Commandos have gone to Cyprus from Turkey:

Turkish nationalism have always needed an enemy to showen itself as powerful as fictional characters.

They have also thought that Nazis have lived among Indians, therefore they thought there are enemies among them

However their, alleged, culture based on copying cowboys or Americans…

Robert Redford / I thought Barbara Eden has been illustrated on the left
However it has been illustrated Eleanor Parker from Many rivers to cross, but I didn’t still understand why Turks have painted Indian to green. Turks call Natives Americans as Red-skinned ones(Kızılderili), but I think nationalists have thought that there is connection with between reptiles and Indians. And they might have been thought that these are communist, non-Turkish nations…
I thought Soledad Miranda has been illustrated as woman character, but it has been illustrated either Charlene Holt from El Dorado
or Tina Louise
Illustrator who is not Turkish have inspired Giuliano Gemma and pose of Richard Harrison from poster
I thought that Audrey Hepburn have illustrated, but it was Raquel Welch
Raquel Welch — Bandolero
Thanks to Germans… Gordon Mitchell
Turks can make the parrot to owl . Imagination(!)— José Calvo from A fistful of Dollars
I have shared the original picture. This is just extra but I have not found the insprition of the woman character

Faces and Turkish covers…

Randolph Scott
