Tarkan is a fictional Hunnic warrior created by Turkish cartoonist Sezgin Burak.
Official Turkish historiography considers Huns the ancestors of modern Turks. Earlier Turkish cartoon depictions that heroized Huns were Atilla Geliyor and Atilla'nın Ölümü, created collectively by Şahap Ayhan and Ayhan Erer in late 1940s.[1]
