Korku June 1975 Turkish Comic Turkey Vampirella #38 Warren Creepy Eerie

Korku – June 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 June 1975 issue stands out for its strong inclusion of Skywald Publications material, particularly from Nightmare Magazine #22, alongside Warren and Marvel content. Stories such as “Vampir ve Kurt Adam – Lanetlinin Savaşı,” “Mumyanın Tabutu – Cenaze Töreni,” and “Dehşet Sirki” bring a darker, more aggressive horror tone characteristic of Skywald’s style. These are complemented by “Dr. Archaeus – Önoyun” from Eerie #61, featuring one of Warren’s recurring horror figures, and “Şeytanların Savaşı” from Dracula Lives #5, adding Marvel’s gothic horror influence to the issue.

Further enriching the anthology are “Balta Oyunu” (Relatively Axe-cidental) from Creepy #66 and a notable Vampirella story, “Londra'nın Kafa Avcıları” (The Head-Hunter of London) from Vampirella #39. This combination of Skywald, Warren, and Marvel sources highlights the editorial diversity of the series during this period. The cover, adapted from Vampirella #38, reinforces the issue’s connection to one of the most iconic horror comic lines of the era, enhancing both its visual appeal and collector value.
