Lucky Luke #42 La Corde du pendu et autres histoires 1989 Turkish Comic Turkey

Red Kit (Lucky Luke – La Corde du pendu et autres histoires) – Issue #42 – Milliyet Newspaper Giveaway (1989)

Description:

This Red Kit comic was published in Turkey by Milliyet in 1989 as part of the newspaper giveaway series distributed alongside the daily paper. The series, issued between 1988 and 1989, was printed in Turkish and in full color. Produced on thin paper to accommodate mass distribution, well-preserved copies of these small-format issues are relatively rare and sought after by collectors.

Measuring 13 × 18 cm, this edition was designed specifically for distribution with newspapers, rather than traditional bookstore sales. Despite the compact size and lighter production, the issue faithfully conveys the adventurous and humorous spirit of the original Franco-Belgian Lucky Luke series, making it accessible to a wide audience.

Issue #42, titled Red Kit – Silahşörler Silahşörü, adapts the original Lucky Luke story La Corde du pendu et autres histoires. In this issue, readers follow Red Kit through his clever and daring encounters, combining humor, action, and the classic Wild West charm that made the European series beloved. The edition demonstrates how Turkish newspaper giveaways balanced affordability, accessibility, and storytelling, while still reflecting the core elements of the original material.
