Lucky Luke #1 Le Daily Star 1988 Turkish Comic Turkey

Red Kit (Lucky Luke – Le Daily Star) – Issue #1 – Milliyet Newspaper Giveaway (1988–1989)

Description:

This Red Kit comic was published in Turkey by Milliyet between 1988 and 1989 as part of a 55-issue newspaper giveaway series distributed alongside the daily paper. The series is the Turkish edition of the original Franco-Belgian comic Lucky Luke, adapted for a wide readership during the late 1980s.

Printed in Turkish and in full color, this edition differs from earlier black-and-white Turkish adaptations by preserving the colorful presentation of the original European albums. However, in order to keep production and distribution costs low, the comics were printed on thin paper typical of newspaper supplements of the period. Because of this fragile paper quality, copies that have survived in good condition are increasingly difficult to find today.

The format size is 13 × 18 cm, making it a small-format edition specifically designed for newspaper distribution rather than bookstore sales. This compact size is one of the defining characteristics of the Milliyet series.

This particular issue is Issue #1 is printed in 1988, titled Red Kit – Teksas Postası, and adapts the story from the original Lucky Luke album Le Daily Star. As the first issue of the series, it holds additional appeal for collectors seeking to represent the beginning of this 55-issue newspaper run.
