Tanzende Derwische

Niyazi Yoltaş’s Tanzende Derwische, a single-issue comic from 1983 published by Galeri Minyatür, distills the visual poetry and spiritual symbolism of whirling dervishes into a self-contained graphic narrative. As a culturally specific work from an independent Turkish publisher, it stands as a quiet, singular artifact—a meditative portrait of Sufi tradition rendered through Yoltaş’s distinct artistic lens.
