Turkish comics were introduced to the Ottoman Empire in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the form of satirical cartoons along with modern journalism. From then on, comic strips and cartoons in newspapers and humor magazines, which typically deliver political or social messages, have been the mainstay of comics in Turkey. Comics conveying longer narratives are often regarded as children's reading material. Comic book production has not been developed as an established industry in Turkey, presumably overshadowed by foreign publications mainly from the U.S., Italy, or France.
