Mad Magazine #10 2001 Turkish Comic Turkey Sergio Aragonés Belly Dancer

Mad Magazine (Turkey) – Issue #10 – May 2001

Description:

This is Issue #10 of the Turkish edition of Mad, published in May 2001 by Aksoy Yayıncılık. It belongs to the limited Turkish Mad run released between August 2000 and June 2001, which consisted of only 11 issues and is now considered collectible.

As with other Turkish Mad issues, this number blends selected material from the original U.S. Mad magazine with localized content created specifically for the Turkish audience. One of the most distinctive aspects of this issue is its cover artwork: instead of using a U.S. cover, it features a locally produced illustration of a belly dancer, making it visually and culturally unique within the series.

The issue includes artwork by legendary Mad contributors such as Sergio Aragonés and Don Martin, alongside contributions from prominent Turkish cartoonists Gürcan Gürsel, Orhan Alev, and Ergün Gündüz. This mix reflects the hybrid editorial approach that defined the Turkish Mad edition.

Printed in black and white, this issue stands out particularly for its locally illustrated cover, adding extra appeal for collectors interested in region-specific Mad publications.
