Minus Eighty

Minus Eighty is the first published adventure in the graphic novel series featuring The Bear Rider.

The term "minus eighty" refers to the temperature in degrees which can cause some pure waters to suddenly turn to ice after just a little movement; hence, also to an underground cavern in which the beginning of the story is set.

First published in Turkey in June 2008, the concept took time in the making: Yalcin Didman, one of the famed Turkish comic book creators, introduced his post-apocalyptic dystopia in the pages of some comics magazine in the early 1990s.

However, the 121-page-long, full-color first adventure had to wait until Didman began to produce for Rodeo, an emerging comics company: Published as the first book in a series of graphic novels (RAD), the book (though in Turkish) helped introduce the imagination of Didman to collectors worldwide.
