The comic's story takes place between the 12th century and 13th century in Central Asia during the reign of Cengiz Khan. The main character, Karaoglan, is a young Uygur Turkic adventurer who worked as a scout in Cengiz Khan's army. Karaoglan is portrayed as an 23 years-old adventurous and brave youngster. He is nomadic and travels throughout Eurasia in his stories. He traveled as far as China, India, Konstantinople and Siberia. He is accompanied by his faithful friend Balaban, an ex-captain in Mongolian army and his father Baybora. His archnemesis is Camoka, a Mongolian bandit who raids villages with his men.

Karaoglan was first adapted to movie by Suat Yalaz as writer, director and producer in 1965. Yalaz searched for a long period for the actor to play Karaoglan and found a young, (then) unknown theater actor from Ankara, Kartal Tibet. Yalaz and Tibet made five movies from 1965 to 1967, which brought great fame to the actor. Suat Yalaz replaced Tibet with Kuzey Vargin in 1969 movie Karaoglan-Samara the Daughter of Sheik. In 1972 Tibet returned to the role for a last time in Karaoglan Geliyor, which was directed by Mehmet Aslan.
