My magazine collection

Since November 2022, I've been frequently reading and collecting certain magazines, and it eventually became a collection/archive. I periodically buy, in alphabetical order: Bavul, Bilim ve Teknik, Çok, Kafasına Göre, Kafkaokur, LubunFanzin, and Ot. #tarih, which I occassionally bought, went on hiatus after releasing their April 2025 issue, and they haven't returned as of February 2026, so I'm focusing on getting its older issues and completing the collection. As part of having the complete #tarih collection, I'm trying to get every issue of NTV Tarih, its predecessor that shut down after issue #53, as well. Aside those, there are a lot of issues of Ayarsız, Kafa, NTV Tarih, and Sadece Şiir (I couldn't get Ayarsız's March 2025 issue, and stopped buying it after, and I stopped buying Kafa and Sadece Şiir in May 2025), plus a few issues of other magazines (often because I got interested in a single issue or two and bought it). This page has the list of available magazines and issues, alongside with missing issues I'd like to add to the collection soon.

• Ayarsız: All issues between November 2022 and February 2025 are available, those two included. I no longer buy it.
• Bavul: Started buying in November 2022, still buying. No issues are missing as of February 2026.
• Bilim ve Teknik: All issues between December 2022 (when I started buying it, and I still am) and February 2026 are available (December 2022 and February 2026 included). I also have issue #366 (May 1998)!
• Çok: Issues #1-#7 available. Still buying.
• Esin Comics Zine: Issue #1 and #3 available. Availability of new issues depends on whenever I get to print them.
• Kafa: Started buying in December 2022, stopped in May 2025. Issues #108, #109, #110, #115, and #120 (September, October, November 2023; April and September 2024) are missing. Issue #94 is also in my collection!!
• Kafasına Göre: Issues #59-#66 available. Still buying.
• Kafkaokur: All issues from November 2022 (when I started buying it) to February 2026 are available (November 2022 and February 2026 included). Still buying.
• LubunFanzin: #1-#3 available. Still getting them.
• NTV Tarih: All issues (#1-#53) available.
• Ot: Started buying in November 2022 (#116), still buying it. All main and special issues released since then are available as of February 2025. The special issues available are the following: 2023/01, 2023/02, 2024/01, 2024/03, 2025/01, 2025/02, 2025/04, and 2026/01. I also got issue #87, and Volume 21, which contains issues #81-#84!
• Sadece Şiir: Issues #12-#19 available (including those two). No longer buying it.
• #tarih: All issues between #94 and #124 are available, those two inclusive. Plus I have issue #29! The magazine has gone on hiatus after releasing the April 2025 issue, and as of January 2026 they haven't returned yet.
• Some other magazines I got for only a few times or so: Akasya Fanzin (#9), Bilge Çocuk (June 2023 and Special Issue 02/2023), Bilim Çocuk (May 2023), Bilim ve Gelecek (#129), Cins (August 2023), Cosmopolitan Türkiye (#1 and #2. Also, Cosmopolitan has mutliple covers for each issue, but there's no difference in content; I have the Ebrar Karakurt cover for #1, and I have the cover in which Berrak Tüzünataç is sitting for #2), Genç Motto (August 2024 and November 2025), History of War (Special Issue 2025/01), Popular Bilim ve Teknoloji (Special Issue 2026/01), and Popular Science Türkiye (#150).

Updates (Newest on the top)

• February 20, 2026 - The NTV Tarih collection is officially complete!! Yes, I picked up the mail today! Thank you Dakik Sahaf for issue #45 of NTV Tarih (and also for Andrew Hodges' Alan Turing: The Enigma, that made me so happy), and also to İnat Sahaf Hasköy for those 2012 issues of Bilim ve Teknik that my university library was missing (I donated them)! I might buy Bilim ve Teknik September 2012 for my collection later soon.
  
  Also, I wonder what I should do for the unreleased 54th issue of NTV Tarih. Should I make an unofficial print for it? Or should I not? One of the #tarih issues is a revamped version of it. I'll see later, I guess.
• February 18, 2026 - I PICKED UP OT SPECIAL ISSUE 2025/02!! Yay!! By the way I placed an order for NTV Tarih #45 from Dakik Sahaf through Nadir Kitap, plus a book that will have, well, significance lol. They apparently gave them to the mail today! So excited!! I also got the 2012 issues of Bilim ve Teknik that are missing in my university's library from İnat Sahaf Hasköy (also through Nadir Kitap). They won't be added to my collection but will be donated to the library. The Bilim ve Teknik issues, I mean.
• February 17, 2026 - Picking up the delivered NTV Tarih issues were way easier than expected, because they delivered them all to the university's post office! Thank you to Eskicim Kitabevi, Garip Sahaf, Kayayayıncılık, and Hachiko Kitabevi! Buuuut... It turns out I missed issue #45. Thankfully it's a common find on Nadir Kitap and I'll order it alongside some #tarih and maybe Ot issues. I also picked up Çok #7. I'll pick up Ot Special Issue 2025/02 around like tomorrow, hopefully. LubunFanzin #4 is officially out and they'll send a copy to me soon! By the way, I moved Çok to the magazines I periodically buy section! And I gotta fill out the form for the Kaos GL subscription by the end of the month and make up my mind about Bilim ve Gelecek.
• February 11, 2026 - The February 2026 issue of Bilim ve Teknik came in a while ago. Today I bought the new issues of Kafkaokur and Ot (a special issue Ot was, Ot Sevgililer). Ot Special Issue 2025/02 has been sent to the mail it seems like, and I ordered Çok #7. Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll be going to the Organized Industrial Zone to pick up some packages of NTV Tarih. Also, I actually have Volume 21 of Ot, containing issues #81-#84, but I forgot to write about it here apparently. It's now indexed. Same with issue #66 of Kafasına Göre.
  
  Also, we got news from LubunFanzin! The printing process got unusually streched, they'll be giving the zine to print in a day or two!!
• February 2, 2026 - I got a Bilim ve Teknik subscription! I also ordered #699 (February 2026, this month's issue) from their website. I'm planning to order the other magazines online as well this month, because in support of the Migros depot workers I've joined the boycott of Migros, and my local Migros is where I get my magazines from. The rest of NTV Tarih issues are also slowly arriving at my university or at the post office nearby, and will be able to pick them up once I go back to uni! I hope I'll be able to pick all of them up without issues.
• January 28, 2026 - NEW MAGAZINE IN THE COLLECTION ALERT!! WE GOT NTV TARİH NOW! In my quest to obtain every issue of #tarih released to this date, I decided to obtain every issue of NTV Tarih, #tarih's predecessor, as well. It has 53 issues released, the 54th issue was going to be about the Gezi Park Protests, but being upset about that, the management of Doğuş Yayın Grubu shut down the magazine. I think the 54th issue was later released online unofficially, and the June 2014 issue of #tarih was a revamped version of that issue. Welp, Adalet Sahaf (which I previously got #tarih #99 from) had a lot of issues of NTV Tarih. I got #2, #5-#9, #19-#21, #23, #25-29, #40, #42, and #43 through Nadir Kitap, and they arrived today! Some of the magazines have some rips but they're on the cover and quite small, so it's fine. And guess what? I placed orders for rest of the issues from four separate sahaflar on Nadir Kitap!! NTV Tarih turns out to be quite a common find around the site, except a couple issues that are a bit more obscure, but they can be found. I'm so excited!!
• January 6, 2026 - Çok #6 arrived yesterday and I could put it to the shelf today! I also got January 2026 issues of Bilim ve Teknik and Kafkaokur!
• January 1, 2026 - Happy New Year! A month ago I got the Science History special issue of Popular Bilim ve Teknoloji but didn't log it here until now. Now it's logged! I ordered Çok #6 a while ago, also I'm waiting for the new issues of Bilim ve Teknik, Kafkaokur, Ot, etc. to come out. Ot has been teasing their new issue a little bit. They also got a special 8-issue volume thingy, you can buy it if you want, I didn't because I already have a lot of issues in it. LubunFanzin #4 will be here soon too I guess, the submissions for it closed nearly two weeks ago. I'm expecting them to release in around March or April! I'm considering to subscribe to Kaos GL and Bilim ve Gelecek magazines, as well as Bilim ve Teknik, as I said before.
• December 5, 2025 - Guess what? I ordered all the issues of #tarih between #94 and #124 the collection was missing. Yesterday I picked up the mail and placed them all on the shelf! Thank you to Betik Sahaf in Mersin (ordered most of the issues from them on Nadir Kitap) and Dergi Kapında (got four of the issues there)!! Now I'm planning to seek out for the 92 other issues the collection is missing. I might go after NTV Tarih (#tarih's predecessor) too.
  
  Çok #6 is going to be out soon. I'll buy it when it starts being sold on Komikşeyler's website! I also have to check my local Migros for Bilim ve Teknik. Kafkaokur hasn't posted anything about their December 2025 issue yet. Ot Special Issue 2025/02 is expected to be sold online by the end of the month. And LubunFanzin has started submissions for #4 (their due date is December 20 if you need to know). What else? Oh, I asked my mom for a Bilim ve Teknik subscription, she said yes!! I might ask for Bilim ve Gelecek as well. And I'll also sign up for a Kaos GL magazine subscription, as I said before!
  
  Update: I went to my local Migros, I bought Bilim ve Teknik and Kafkaokur. Yes, Kafkaokur did release a new issue, but for some reason they haven't posted anything about it in their Instagram.
• November 29, 2025 - Ot's December 2025 issue released early, and I bought it today. I also looked at the issue number of that one History of War special issue I bought a couple days ago, it's 2025/01.
• November 25, 2025 - Kafkaokur and Bilim ve Teknik were bought two weeks ago or so. Ot's November 2025 issue released in mid-October and I bought it then; this month they released a special issue called KarikaTerapi, and I bought it. Bought Kafasına Göre too, of course. They released a bit late this time, I think. I also bought this month's issue of Genç Motto because I thought reacting and dunking on it would make a good video. It would've been smarter of me to wait until it dropped on Nadir Kitap instead, I'm sorry. There's also a special issue of History of War I bought a while ago, but I don't remember its number. When I come back home I'll look and log it.
  
  Kaos GL recently announced that people who subscribe to the Kaos GL magazine by March 2026 will receive special gifts. I emailed them about subscribing, and I'll be able to do so in December; the subscription can only be bought through bank transfers, and since I'm under 18 I don't have a bank account yet.
  
  By the way, Ot Special Issue 2025/02 will most likely arrive at Ot's hands and they'll start selling it again in December or so. I'm excited!
• November 7, 2025 - I ordered issues #4, #95, #121, #122, and #123 of #tarih. Received #121 and #123 two days ago, #95 and #122 today, and about #4, the sahaf on Nadir Kitap I ordered it from couldn't find it (probably sold it before but didn't update their inventory), so they allowed me to pick different stuff that made up the price. I ended up picking #tarih #119 and Kafa #94, so instead of #tarih #4 I received those (alongside with #123). And they also sent me issue #87 of Ot as a gift!!
  
  So overall, I got issues #95, #119, #121, #122, and #123 of #tarih; issue #94 of Kafa, and issue #87 of Ot!
  
  I yet have to visit my local Migros for Bilim ve Teknik and Kafkaokur.
• October 18, 2025 - I received Ot #126 and #127, as well as #tarih #29 and #94 a couple days ago!! The Ot collection is ALMOST complete, I'm waiting for Ot to receive Special Issue 2025/02 back from distribution depots and then start selling them online so I can buy it. Their November 2025 issue (#144) also released (in mid-October for some reason), got it from Migros today. Plus I got Popular Science Türkiye #150 because they were giving away their whole archive online with it.
• October 12, 2025 - Ot's new special issue is just issues #134, #135, and Special Issue 2025/01 repackaged. I'll probably donate them to a library, they'd make good use of them I think! I also went to Antalya Book Fair yesterday and got issue #5 of Çok! I'll receive Ot #126 and #127 (again) soon, I've also ordered #tarih #94 and #29! I'm excited! Oh, and I got this month's issue of Bilim ve Teknik around the beginning of the month. And I need to search for the new issue of Kafkaokur.
  
  Update: Went to 5M Migros and obtained the new issue of Kafkaokur!
• September 27, 2025 - Ot's got a new special issue and I got it from Migros, I received Ot #135 from Nadir Kitap (and it was also in the special issue pack thing), I also got #tarih #99 and Bilim ve Gelecek #129 also from Nadir Kitap! I had also got a ton of issues from 2015 of Cumhuriyet Bilim ve Teknoloji and issues #126 and #127 of Ot, but my dad caught them and they were destroyed. I'll soon get those two issues of Ot again, don't worry, and I guess I can print out the Cumhuriyet Bilim ve Teknoloji stuff once I get my own bank account and subscribe to their e-archive (not as good as having the originals, but better than nothing)!
• September 18, 2025 - GUESS WHAT?? I bought issues #91 and #93 of Bavul and #101 of Kafa (for its Kitap Kafası booklet) from Nadir Kitap, and they arrived today!! This means all issues of Bavul from November 2022 until now are in the collection, and we got Kitap Kafası #2 (the one that came with Kafa #101) in the collection too! Thanks to Sahaf Standı in İstanbul and Alıç Sahaf in Ankara for the magazines!
• September 11, 2025 - Me and my family were away from home between August 27 and yesterday, so I could buy magazines today. Got the new issues of Bilim ve Teknik, Ot, Kafkaokur, and Kafasına Göre. I'm surprised they're all here and they all stayed.
• August 15, 2025 - Great things have been happening in terms of the magazine collection lately! Two days ago, on the 13th, I went to İltem Antik Sahaf to see how it's like and also to get issue #9 of Akasya Fanzin, and unexpectedly I came across issue #366 (May 1998) of Bilim ve Teknik there! It was such a surprise! And today, I picked up LubunFanzin #3 after all the trouble. Epic!!
• August 5, 2025 - Couldn't go to the post office yesterday or today. But at least yesterday I bought the new issue of Bilim ve Teknik. Yes, it was there yesterday, I guessed it right. Tomorrow, I might get to add a very interesting item to my collection (or instead donate it to a library)! Stay tuned!
• August 3, 2025 - Yesterday, I got the new issue of Kafkaokur, and Çok #3 and #4 came in the mail (I ordered them on Komikşeyler's official website a week or so ago)! Today I got the new issue of Ot. I'll go to the post office tomorrow and ask about LubunFanzin #3, as suggested. If it turns out it had been sent back (hope it hasn't), they'll re-mail it to me again. And Bilim ve Teknik will most likely come to my local Migros tomorrow or the day after.
• July 7, 2025 - Welp, I missed Ot's Yazlık special issue, but I bought their July 2025 issue! It released a bit early, even. I also bought Bilim ve Teknik and Kafasına Göre yesterday!! Also, LubunFanzin #3 and Oyunbozan #1 might arrive soon!
• June 4, 2025 - KAFKAOKUR ISSUE #100 OBTAINED!! I went to Migros today and I saw that Kafkaokur arrived! This issue is particularly special because it's their 100th issue! This issue is bimonthly (June-July 2025), thought I should note that too. Ot has released a special issue, and that hasn't arrived to my local Migros yet, I might need to go all the way to 5M Migros to obtain it.
• June 3, 2025 - Bought the new issue of Bilim ve Teknik yesterday. I also printed out Esin Comics Zine #1 a couple weeks ago or so. So... Welcome to the collection, Esin Comics Zine! By the way, submission period for LubunFanzin #3 has been announced, and I think I'll soon have Oyunbozan, 500T Fanzin, and Fiyaka added to my collection.
• May 18, 2025 - It has been a long while. Bought Ot and Kafasına Göre earlier this month. Bavul released a new issue (their 100th one!) a few days ago, and I bought it then. Today, I finally found this month's issue of Kafkaokur!
  
  And we have a new magazine in the collection: Çok! I wanted to start buying it for a good while. On the 3rd of the month, in Komikşeyler's stand in Kepez Book Fair, I found the first and second issues (there are three issues so far and a fourth one is on the way)! It'll be a magazine I'll be able to buy occassionally since it doesn't arrive at Migros, and overall it seems like the only way to obtain it other than going to book fairs in which Komikşeyler is tabling in is to buy it online, and you know it's hard for me to buy things online. Whatever, I'm excited!
  
  By the way, I now consider Kafasına Göre as a magazine I periodically buy!
• May 2, 2025 - Got Bilim ve Teknik yesterday! I'm expecting Ot to arrive soon. I've also made the decision to stop buying Kafa and Sadece Şiir due to a couple problems I have with Kafa Medya Grup. Bavul still seems to be on hiatus, but they're continuing to occassionally post on social media. I think since the next issue will be their 100th one, they're cooking up something special. They can take all the time they want, I'm really excited to see what they'll release! Kafkaokur gave a teaser for their new issue, it'll take a bit to be released I guess.
• April 8, 2025 - So on the same day I wrote the previous update, I went and bought #tarih. It's certainly on the way to become a more serious history magazine. I'm thinking of buying it more often. I also bought Kafkaokur today! Also, I forgot that I wrote "Stopped buying in April 2025" to Kafa in the previous update thing. I was thinking of stopping to buy Kafa but later gave up. ALSO OMG I JUST CHECKED #TARİH'S WEBSITE AND THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING ON HIATUS, I hope everything's alright.
• April 5, 2025 - So, last month, I guess I bought every magazine I buy periodically (plus Kafasına Göre) except Ayarsız. I missed Ayarsız. And this month, only one (1) copy of it came to my local Migros (I didn't buy it btw). I'm boycotting D&R, so the only way to acquire Ayarsız at this point has become buying it from Dergi Kapında, so, online, which is really hard. So I guess I'll stop collecting Ayarsız, at least for the time being. It's also safe to say that I won't buy Cosmopolitan at all (at least for the time being) either, due to things related to the boycott, so I moved it to the "magazines I bought for only a few times or so" list. This month, I bought Bilim ve Teknik, Ot, and Kafa. I yet have to buy Sadece Şiir and Kafkaokur. I'm also contemplating to buy #tarih this month. For the last few months it appears that it wants to become a more serious magazine? Like, it's having a makeover that is apparent in the cover, I'd like to buy it this month to see what's going on. By the way, Bavul has been on hiatus since issue #99, though they occassionally post on their Instagram but not about any new issue, I'm a bit concerned.
• February 15, 2025 - KAFA, KAFKAOKUR, OT, BİLİM VE TEKNİK, SADECE ŞİİR, AYARSIZ, ALL ACQUIRED! Btw, Ot didn't release a new usual issue this month but rather a Şarkılarla special issue.
• January 20, 2025 - Picked up LubunFanzin #2 from the post office today! Wohooo!!
• January 12, 2025 - Got Bavul a bit after a while I posted the previous update. Got Bilim ve Teknik, Kafa, Kafkaokur, Ot, and Kafasına Göre around the beginning of the month. Bought Ayarsız today. I'm expecting LubunFanzin #2 to arrive soon. I've given up on periodically collecting Cosmopolitan for the time being, because I've become a bit too uncomfortable collecting it? It's difficult to explain. I think, like, I'm not old enough yet for Cosmopolitan. For now, I'll buy it occassionally. I may start collecting it periodically again around December this year though! I hope you understand. I also think that I may buy Kafasına Göre more, as it has become more accessible in my area. Also, where is the new issue of Sadece Şiir? I'm wondering.
• December 23, 2024 - I got this month's Bilim ve Teknik, Kafa, Kafkaokur, and Ayarsız. I yet have to buy Bavul's new issue (it arrived in my local Migros, I saw it). I saw Cosmopolitan's November 2024 issue once in my local Migros, but didn't buy it, and next time I went there, it was gone. Couldn't find in the D&R nor in the Migros of a nearby mall either. It was most likely called back. Oh, I also had gotten Kafasına Göre's November-December 2024 issue out of curiousity (and because it was in my local Migros). Also, LubunFanzin #2 will be out soon I think. I'm excited!!
• November 7, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Ayarsız today. It finally came to my local Migros. Epic!
• November 4, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Ot at around late October (27th? 28th? It came out early), bought this month's issue of Bilim ve Teknik yesterday, and bought this month's issues of Kafa and Kafkaokur today! Shoutout to the small market btw, Migros still doesn't have Kafa's and Kafkaokur's new issues but it did.
  
  And... Guess what! We got a new addition to our collection: LubunFanzin! I physically obtained issue #1 today! I'll try my best to obtain every issue of it.
• October 21, 2024 - It's been a long while since I updated this. Whatever, I missed Ot and Kafa's September 2024 issues. Oof. I obtained Kafa's newest issue a while ago though. There have been zero news about Ot's October 2024 issue. Same for Bavul. It's very strange.
  
  Cosmopolitan launched last month. Bought last month's issue last month (duh) and this month's issue today. Today I also grabbed the new issue of Sadece Şiir. I got Kafkaokur's new issue a week ago or something. Same with Bilim ve Teknik and Ayarsız. Grabbed #tarih this month too.
  
  I also organized the archive and the list on this page according to alphabetical order!
• September 11, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Ayarsız two days ago, and added it to the archive. I'm considering to visit a D&R to obtain the new issues of Kafa and Ot. Should also visit a sahaf sometime soon for the missing issues of Bavul.
• September 7, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Kafkaokur today. I also had bought Bilim ve Teknik's new issue a few days ago. Added those to the archive. It has also turned out that I actually have Ot's September 2023 issue, so I removed that from the missing issues list.
