Mad Magazine #9 2001 Turkish Comic Turkey Sergio Aragonés John Ficarra

Mad Magazine (Turkey) – Issue #9 – April 2001

Description:

This is Issue #9 of the Turkish edition of Mad, published in April 2001 by Aksoy Yayıncılık. It is part of the short-lived Turkish Mad series released between August 2000 and June 2001, which consisted of only 11 issues and has since become collectible.

As with the other Turkish Mad issues, Issue #9 combines selected material from the original U.S. Mad magazine with locally produced or adapted content created specifically for Turkish readers. This blend gives the Turkish edition a distinct identity while preserving Mad’s trademark satire, parody, and absurd humor.

The issue includes artwork and content by well-known U.S. Mad contributors such as Sergio Aragonés, John Ficarra, and Paul Peter Porges. These are complemented by contributions from Turkish cartoonists Gürcan Gürsel, Orhan Alev, and Ergün Gündüz, highlighting the localized editorial approach of the Turkish Mad run.

Printed in black and white, Issue #9 continues the classic Mad visual style and irreverent tone that made the magazine a global icon.
