Turkey laughing
Comic exhibition in Ancona, Italy, on the satirical comic scene in Turkey. Light on Le Man, the satirical magazine born 15 years ago and spread in the whole Turkey, from Diyarbakir to Istanbul, with 150.000 copies every week.
In the past years, the founders of the magazine have had some problems with the Turkish political establishment because of theirs works and the passports suspended. But they didn’t give up the ironic and sarcastic style.
Le Man is a weekly on political current affairs, entirely made with comics. They hit the hypocrisy of the Turkish society with an incredible freedom of expression.
