Mickey Mouse Mag #50 1962 Turkish Comic Turkey Walt Disney Donald Duck
Walt Disney – Miki Haftalık Mecmua – Issue #50, Pulhan Yayınları, 1962
Description:
This is Issue #50 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 a total run of approximately 180 issues, Miki Haftalık Mecmua remains the longest-lived Disney-character magazine series published in Turkey, far surpassing earlier Disney titles in both continuity and cultural impact.
Issued weekly and printed in Turkish, the magazine reflects the economic and technical realities of early 1960s publishing. To control production costs, issues typically combine black-and-white interior pages with selected color sections, a deliberate editorial choice rather than an inconsistency. This hybrid format is characteristic of the Pulhan era and forms part of the magazine’s historical identity.
Issue #50 is particularly appealing due to its cover featuring Grandma Duck, a less frequently spotlighted but beloved member of the Disney universe, which adds distinct visual and collector interest. The issue also includes a story featuring Donald Duck, further strengthening its appeal through one of Disney’s most iconic and enduring characters. As a mid-run issue from 1962, this number represents the series at full momentum and stands as a strong example of Turkey’s Golden Age of Disney weekly magazines.
