Hulk #16 1988 Turkish Comic Turkey cover Rampaging #5 #142 She-Hulk

Hulk – Issue #16 (1988) – Marvel Yayınları

Description:

Hulk Issue #16 was published in 1988 by Marvel Yayınları as part of the Turkish 20-issue Hulk series released between 1987 and 1988. Like the other issues in this run, the original Marvel comics were produced in color but published in black and white in Turkey due to the high cost of color printing at the time. The interior artwork was recreated by tracing the original pages onto tracing paper, a common production technique in Turkish comic publishing during the late 1980s, resulting in a distinct visual interpretation compared to the original editions.

As seen throughout the series, this issue also features a mismatch between the cover and the interior content. The cover artwork is taken from Rampaging Hulk #5, while the interior includes three different stories. These are Namor’un Öfkesi, Park Avenue’da Panik originally from Hulk #142, and an additional story featuring Dişi Hulk, originally published as She-Hulk Vol. 1 No. 1. The inclusion of both a Namor-related Hulk story and an early She-Hulk appearance makes this issue particularly interesting, highlighting how Turkish editions often combined material from different Marvel titles into a single volume. As a result, this issue stands out as a collectible example of how characters such as Hulk, Namor, and She-Hulk were presented to Turkish readers in the late 1980s.
