Chicha, Tato y Clodoveo #3 1989 Turkish Comic Turkey Francisco Ibáñez

Sevimli Üçlü – Issue #3 (1989) – Alfa Yayınları

Description:

Sevimli Üçlü Issue #3 is a Turkish black-and-white comic published in 1989 by Alfa Yayınları as part of a short-lived six-issue series. The title is the Turkish edition of the Spanish comic series Chicha, Tato y Clodoveo, created in 1986 by Francisco Ibáñez. The series centers on the everyday misadventures of three unemployed young people, blending social satire with fast-paced humor in a style closely associated with Ibáñez’s comedic storytelling.

This Turkish edition reflects the late-1980s approach to European humor comics in Turkey, where black-and-white printing was common and series with altered titles were often introduced to local readers for limited runs. As the first issue of the Sevimli Üçlü series, this book establishes the core characters and tone, presenting situational comedy driven by economic struggle, friendship, and absurd solutions to everyday problems. Due to the small total print run and the brief lifespan of the series, it is increasingly difficult to find today.

For collectors, Sevimli Üçlü Issue #3 represents an interesting example of Spanish humor comics adapted for the Turkish market, as well as a niche but appealing item for fans of Francisco Ibáñez and European comic traditions beyond the more commonly seen Franco-Belgian titles.
