Walt Disney – Miki Haftalık Mecmua – Issue #57, Pulhan Yayınları, 1963
Description:
This is Issue #57 of Miki Haftalık Mecmua, the long-running weekly Turkish Disney magazine published by Pulhan Yayınları between 1962 and 1965 under the ownership of Ali Nusret Pulhan. With an overall run of approximately 180 issues, the series stands as the most enduring Disney-character periodical published in Turkey and a key reference point in early Turkish Disney magazine history.
Issued weekly and printed in Turkish, the magazine reflects the production practices of the early 1960s. To reduce printing costs, issues typically combine black-and-white interior pages with selected color sections, a deliberate and common solution of the period. This mixed-format approach has become a defining characteristic of Pulhan-era Miki issues and contributes to their historical and collectible identity.
Issue #57, published in 1963, features Donald Duck on the cover, reinforcing the issue’s visual appeal through one of Disney’s most recognizable and expressive characters. Inside, the issue includes comic stories starring Donald Duck alongside appearances by Goofy and Chip 'n Dale, presenting a classic and well-balanced selection of core Disney personalities. As part of the series’ stable mid-run period, this issue is a strong and representative example for collectors of early 1960s Turkish Disney weeklies.
