Casper the Friendly Ghost – Issue #3 1996 Turkish Comic Turkey

Casper the Friendly Ghost – Issue #3 (Turkish Edition, Hürriyet Newspaper, 1996)

Description:

This comic book is Issue #3 of the Casper the Friendly Ghost series published in 1996 by Hürriyet Newspaper in Turkey. Rather than being sold as a standard retail comic, this edition was distributed free of charge alongside the daily newspaper, making it part of a short-lived promotional comic series aimed at younger readers and families.

A total of six issues were released in this series, all printed on thin, low-grade paper typical of newspaper promotions of the era. Due to the fragile paper stock, copies that have survived in clean, well-preserved condition are increasingly difficult to find today.

Printed in full color and in Turkish, this issue features the classic lighthearted adventures of Casper, one of the most iconic characters of mid-20th-century American comics. Turkish newspaper editions such as this represent an important entry point for international characters into the local market, and they offer a unique contrast to standard comic shop releases due to their distribution method, materials, and limited survival rate.
