Korku May 1975 Turkish Comic Turkey Vampirella #37 Warren Creepy Eerie

Korku – May 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 May 1975 issue offers a balanced mix of Vampirella stories and classic Warren-era horror content. A key highlight is “Sokağın Sultanı” (The Sultan of 42nd Street) from Vampirella #39, presenting one of the character’s darker urban-themed narratives. The issue also includes another Vampirella story from Vampirella #24, reinforcing the character’s strong presence within this edition and increasing its appeal for collectors focused on Vampirella material.

Complementing these are stories such as “Mukaddese El Sürme” (Desecration) from Creepy #66 and “Bir Yokeden” (Exterminator One) from Eerie #60, both reflecting the atmospheric and often morally complex storytelling style of Warren publications. Additional entries like “Issızlık,” “Pamuk Prenses ve Öldüren Cüceler,” and “Aşağılı Yaratık” (from Kripta #5) further diversify the anthology with a mix of horror, dark fantasy, and localized or lesser-known sources. The cover is adapted from Vampirella #37, visually tying the issue to the Vampirella line and enhancing its overall collector appeal.
