Walt Disney – Miki Haftalık Mecmua – Issue #33, Pulhan Yayınları, 1962

Description:

This is Issue #33 of Miki Haftalık Mecmua, the long-running weekly Turkish magazine featuring Disney characters, centered on Mickey Mouse. Published by Pulhan Yayınları between 1962 and 1965 under the ownership of Ali Nusret Pulhan, this title became the most enduring Disney periodical in Turkey of its era, reaching approximately 180 issues an exceptional run compared to earlier, shorter-lived Disney publications in the country.

Issued weekly, Miki Haftalık Mecmua reflects the publishing realities of its time. To reduce production costs, many issues this one included combine black-and-white pages with selected color sections, a common and deliberate practice rather than a defect. Printed in Turkish, the magazine offered accessible, serialized Disney storytelling to a broad readership and played a formative role in introducing generations of Turkish readers to classic Disney comics culture.

In addition to Mickey Mouse content, this issue also includes a story featuring Donald Duck, expanding its appeal through one of Disney’s most popular and enduring characters. As an early-1960s weekly issue from the height of the Pulhan period, Issue #33 stands as a representative and collectible example of Turkey’s Golden Age of Disney magazine publishing.
