Korku April 1975 Turkish Comic Turkey Vampirella #34 Warren Creepy Eerie Enrich

Korku – April 1975 Issue – Benli Yayınevi Turkish Edition

Description:

This comic magazine is an issue from the Korku series published by Benli Yayınevi between 1971 and 1977. The series ran for a total of 79 issues and was released on a monthly basis, although individual issues were not numbered. It represents one of the most important follow-up publications to Korku Magazin, continuing the tradition of bringing American horror comics to Turkish readers in anthology format.

Printed entirely in black and white and in a compact format (22 x 16 cm), this issue reflects the typical production standards of Turkish comic magazines of the early 1970s. The content primarily consists of Turkish translations of stories sourced from Warren Publishing’s Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella magazines, along with material from other American publishers such as Skywald and Marvel. This blend of sources created a rich and varied horror anthology that appealed to a wide audience.

This April 1975 issue presents a strong mid-period selection of stories drawn from Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella, showcasing the darker and more refined storytelling style of Warren publications during the mid-1970s. Highlights include “Perili Manastır” (The Haunted Abbey) from Creepy #67 and “Yaşayan Ölünün Tabutu – Ölüm Arzusu” from Eerie #61, both reflecting the era’s emphasis on atmospheric horror and psychological tension. The issue also features “Gözüdönmüşlerin Gecesi… 24 Saat Cehennemi” from Eerie #60 and “Ve Mumyalar Yürüdüler” from Eerie #61, adding action-driven and classic monster-themed narratives to the mix.

A key highlight is “Vampirella – Ölüm Karnavalı” (The Carnival of Death) from Vampirella #34, bringing one of Warren’s most iconic characters into the issue and significantly enhancing its appeal for collectors. Additional content such as “Beşinci Yıldan Seçmeler” (Excerpts from the Year Five!) from Creepy #67 further reinforces the anthology’s connection to Warren’s editorial legacy. The cover, illustrated by Enrique Enrich Torres, reflects the classic Vampirella-era aesthetic, making this issue visually distinctive and closely tied to the character’s original artistic heritage.
