Korku January 1973 Turkish Comic Turkey Vampirella #19 Warren Creepy Eerie

Korku – January 1973 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 January 1973 issue features a diverse and content-rich selection of stories drawn mainly from Eerie and Creepy, complemented by early Vampirella material. Highlights include “Kağıttan Cehennem” (Look What They’ve Done!) from Eerie #36 and “Şeytanın Kitabı,” featuring Uncle Creepy, from Creepy #39. The issue also includes “Gümüş Kurşunlar” (Two Silver Bullets) from Vampirella #1, representing one of the earliest Vampirella stories available to Turkish readers, adding historical and collector significance.

Additional stories such as “Gösteriş” (Show Down), “Son Müşteri” (Round Trip), and “Altın Efsanesi” (Legend in Gold) further reinforce the anthology’s strong Warren-era atmosphere, while entries like “Atlantis Kıtası Efsanesi” (The Other Side of Atlantis) and “Beyindeki Tırtıllar” (The Caterpillars) highlight the experimental and often surreal storytelling style characteristic of the period. The cover is adapted from Vampirella #19, providing a strong visual connection to Warren’s iconic horror line and enhancing the issue’s appeal for collectors.
