Hulk #17 1988 Turkish Comic Turkey cover Rampaging #6 #145 She-Hulk

Hulk – Issue #17 (1988) – Marvel Yayınları

Description:

Hulk Issue #17 was published in 1988 by Marvel Yayınları as part of the Turkish Hulk series that ran for a total of 20 issues between 1987 and 1988. As with the other issues in this series, the original Marvel material was created in color but released in black and white in Turkey due to the high cost of color printing at the time. The interior pages were produced by retracing the original artwork onto tracing paper, a widely used method in Turkish comic publishing during the late 1980s, giving the book a distinctive visual character compared to its original counterparts.

This issue once again reflects the typical mismatch between cover and interior content seen throughout the series. The cover artwork is taken from Rampaging Hulk #6, while the interior stories are drawn from different Marvel publications. The issue includes the stories titled Canavarlar Düellosu and Tanrıların Arabaları, the latter originally published as Hulk #145, as well as Dişi Hulk: Ölüm Yarışı, which originates from She-Hulk Vol. 1 No. 2. The combination of Hulk and early She-Hulk material in a single issue highlights the eclectic editorial approach of the Turkish edition and enhances its appeal for collectors interested in unconventional international Marvel publications featuring characters such as Hulk and She-Hulk.
