Eroskop #12 1993 Turkish Comic Turkey Erotic Mag Fuckerminator Terminator

Eroskop – Issue #12 – Çizgili Yayınlar Turkish Erotic Comic Magazine (1993)

Description:

This magazine is Issue #12 of Eroskop, a Turkish-language, full-color weekly erotic comic publication first released on March 29, 1993, under the direction of Nuri Kurtcebe and published by Çizgili Yayınlar, owned by İrfan Keskin. Clearly marked as “not for sale to persons under 18” and labeled as a weekly erotic comic magazine beneath its logo, Eroskop positioned itself as a bold and unapologetically adult-oriented publication within the Turkish comics scene of the early 1990s.

Published on June 12, 1993, this issue belongs to the early phase of the magazine, when it functioned as a true comic anthology featuring a strong emphasis on illustrated storytelling. The majority of the content consists of works by Turkish artists and writers, many of whom were prominent figures in the country’s comic and caricature tradition. The editorial direction favored stories with a high level of erotic tone and mature themes, pushing the boundaries of what was commonly seen in local publications of the time.

While predominantly featuring domestic talent, Eroskop also included occasional international works. Among these is “Kanlı Kontes Rossa,” the Turkish presentation of La Contessa Rossa by Georges Pichard, one of the most notable European artists associated with erotic comics. The magazine also featured wordless short stories by French artist Barbe, as well as contributions from Loisel, adding a layer of European influence to an otherwise locally driven publication.

A notable feature of this issue is “Fuckerminator,” a parody of the Terminator concept created by a Turkish artist. Reflecting a common practice in Turkish comic magazines of the period, this piece blends satire with adult-themed storytelling, offering a localized and humorous reinterpretation of a globally recognized science fiction figure. Such inclusions highlight the magazine’s creative flexibility and its willingness to merge parody with erotic narrative elements.

Eroskop occupies a unique place in Turkish publishing history due to its short-lived but distinct editorial identity. After Issue #21, dated August 14, 1993, the magazine shifted away from comic content entirely, becoming a publication focused solely on erotic photography. This transition led to the departure of Nuri Kurtcebe and most of the contributing artists, marking a clear divide between the comic-focused early issues and the later format.

As a mid-run issue from the original comic-focused period, Issue #12 is particularly collectible. It captures the magazine during its most creative and diverse phase, combining local production, European influences, and original parody content within a single publication.
