Lucky Luke #39 Nitroglycérine 1989 Turkish Comic Turkey

Red Kit (Lucky Luke – Nitroglycérine) – Issue #39 – Milliyet Newspaper Giveaway (1989)

Description:

This Red Kit comic was published in Turkey by Milliyet in 1989 as part of the 55-issue newspaper giveaway series distributed alongside the daily paper. Released between 1988 and 1989, this series represents one of the most widely circulated Turkish editions of the classic Franco-Belgian comic Lucky Luke.

Printed in Turkish and in full color, this edition preserved the colorful presentation of the original European albums. In order to make large-scale newspaper distribution possible, the comics were produced on thin paper typical of late-1980s newspaper supplements. Due to this fragile paper quality, copies that have survived in clean and well-preserved condition are increasingly difficult to find today.

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

This particular issue is Issue #39, titled Red Kit – Barut Fıçısı. It adapts the original Lucky Luke story Nitroglycérine and was published in 1989. The story involves the classic Western theme of transporting unstable explosives, offering adventure and suspense in line with Lucky Luke’s humorous and action-packed style.
