Hulk #2 1987 Turkish Comic Turkey cover #17

Hulk – Issue #2 (1987) – Marvel Yayınları

Description:

Hulk Issue #2 is a Turkish black-and-white comic published in 1987 by Marvel Yayınları as part of the 20-issue Hulk series released between 1987 and 1988. As with the rest of the series, this edition was printed in black and white despite the original material being produced in full color, reflecting the high cost of color printing in Turkey during the late 1980s. The interior artwork was recreated by tracing over the original pages using tracing paper, resulting in simplified line work and a distinctly localized visual style.

This issue continues the characteristic mismatch between cover art and interior content seen throughout the series. The cover is taken from Hulk Vol. 1 #17, while the interior stories are unrelated to the cover image. Inside, the issue presents three Hulk stories titled Kişisel Cehennem, Cennet, and Düşman Yıldızlar (Klaatu 2), all featuring Hulk in standalone narrative segments adapted for Turkish publication.

In addition to the official Hulk material, this issue includes Halk, a parody of Hulk drawn by a Turkish artist. Such locally produced parody content is a notable feature of Turkish comics from this era and adds an extra layer of cultural and historical interest. For collectors, Hulk Issue #2 is appealing not only as part of the early Turkish Hulk run but also for its inclusion of original Turkish parody work alongside adapted Marvel material.
