Korku – October 1977 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 mid-1970s. The content includes Turkish translations of stories sourced from Creepy and Vampirella, along with photoroman features, providing a mix of gothic, supernatural, and psychological horror. This combination enhanced the reading experience and made the magazine appealing to collectors seeking both narrative depth and visual interest.

The October 1977 issue showcases several suspenseful and eerie stories. Featured content includes “Vampirin Madalyonu” (Fotoroman), “İnsan Eti” (Orem Ain’t Got No Head Cheese!, Creepy #85), “Bir Çılgınlık” (Hide and Go Mad, Creepy #85), “Kuyudaki Ölü” (The Thing in the Well, Creepy #85), “Masallara İnanır Mısınız?” (Do You Believe in Sinsigs?, Creepy #85), and “Faizle Zaman” (Time Ticket, Vampirella #62). The cover is an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Moon Maid by Frank Frazetta, giving the issue a visually striking and dramatic presence. Additionally, the back cover features an advertisement for the television series Space: 1999, reflecting the cultural context of the period.

For collectors, this issue is notable for its Frank Frazetta cover, the photoroman content, and the Creepy/Vampirella stories, as well as the inclusion of contemporary pop culture references. It represents a late-stage Korku anthology issue that balances horror storytelling with visual flair and collectible appeal.
