Hulk #18 1988 Turkish Comic Turkey cover Rampaging #7 #95 She-Hulk

Hulk – Issue #18 (1988) – Marvel Yayınları

Description:

Hulk Issue #18 was published in 1988 by Marvel Yayınları as part of the Turkish Hulk series that ran for 20 issues between 1987 and 1988. As with the rest of the series, the original Marvel stories 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 method in Turkish comic publishing during the late 1980s, giving this edition a distinct visual identity.

This issue continues the characteristic mismatch between cover and interior content seen throughout the series. The cover illustration is taken from Rampaging Hulk #7, while the interior features a varied selection of stories from different Marvel sources. Included are Hayaletin Gecesi and Tanrıların Arabaları Bölüm 2, the latter originally published in Marvel Super Heroes Featuring The Incredible Hulk #95, alongside Dişi Hulk: Ölüm Yarışı from She-Hulk Vol. 1 No. 2. In addition to the comic stories, the issue concludes with a section featuring Hulk drawings sent in by magazine readers, adding a uniquely local and interactive element that further enhances its collectible appeal for fans of international editions of characters such as Hulk and She-Hulk.
