Lucky Luke #45 Les Rivaux de Painful Gulch 1989 Turkish Comic Turkey

Red Kit (Lucky Luke – Les Rivaux de Painful Gulch) – Issue #45 – 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, released between 1988 and 1989, was printed in Turkish and in full color. Produced on thin paper for mass distribution, these small-format issues are increasingly rare in well-preserved condition, making them collectible.

Measuring 13 × 18 cm, this edition was designed for newspaper distribution rather than conventional bookstore sales. Despite the compact size, the comic preserves the humor, cleverness, and adventurous spirit of the original Franco-Belgian Lucky Luke series, making it accessible to a wide Turkish readership.

Issue #45, titled Red Kit – Amansız Rakipler, adapts the original Lucky Luke story Les Rivaux de Painful Gulch. In this issue, Red Kit faces persistent and cunning adversaries, navigating their schemes with intelligence, courage, and humor. The issue continues the engaging and lighthearted adventures that characterize the original series while fitting into the practical newspaper giveaway format.
