The Genius of Crime has a successful crime career in Turkey, where he was known as KiLLiNG. The photo comics were serialized in a leading newspaper and his own magazine appeared in the 1960s (see cover at bottom of page). The character was so popular that he appeared in 11 movies as Kilink and Killing! The digest sized series below is from 1970. In place of the Italian and French supplemental material, it has unique text stories and cartoons by local talent.

NOTE: Our fonts couldn’t replicate some Turkish fonts. The following ‘I’s are capital letters with a single dot over them. Most of the ‘G’s have crescent marks over them and some of the ‘S’s have a mark under them. Thanks very much to The Raws from Turkey for the translations (of which we took creative liberties). If you want to hear some real, well, raw, music then you better check out their MySpace Music page!! The scans of covers 15 & 22 courtesy of Alberto Donda.
