Casper the Friendly Ghost – Altın Seri #6 80s Turkish Comic Turkey

Sevimli Hayalet (Casper the Friendly Ghost) – Altın Seri #6 (Turkish Edition, Bora Yayınları)

Description:

This is a Turkish-language, black-and-white edition of Sevimli Hayalet, the localized Turkish adaptation of Casper the Friendly Ghost, one of the most iconic American comic characters of the 20th century. Casper is known for his gentle nature and friendly personality, standing in contrast to traditional ghost stereotypes, and has appeared across comics, animation, and popular culture for decades.

This issue was published by Bora Yayınları as part of their Altın Seri, a notable publication line active during the early 1980s. Bora Yayınları, founded in 1979 by Fuat Yılmaz, was especially active in the first half of the 1980s and became known for adapting popular American comic characters for Turkish readers.

Due to the high cost of color printing in Turkey at the time, this edition was produced entirely in black and white. The artwork was redrawn by Turkish artists using tracing techniques rather than direct reproduction, resulting in a distinctive localized visual style that differs from the original American editions published by Harvey Comics.

As part of the Altın Seri, this issue represents one of Bora Yayınları’s more prominent and collectible lines. Today, such editions are particularly valued by collectors interested in Turkish comic history, localized adaptations of American comics, and vintage black-and-white publications from the early 1980s.
