Walt Disney – Miki Haftalık Mecmua – Issue #51, Pulhan Yayınları, 1962

Description:

This is Issue #51 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 ever published in Turkey, marking a high point in local Disney magazine history.

Printed weekly in Turkish, the magazine reflects the production practices of the early 1960s. To keep costs manageable, issues typically combine black-and-white interior pages with selected color sections, a standard and intentional approach of the period. This mixed printing style has since become a defining characteristic of the Pulhan-era Miki issues.

Issue #51 features Donald Duck on the cover, immediately enhancing its visual appeal through one of Disney’s most popular and expressive characters. Inside, the issue includes comic stories starring Donald Duck alongside appearances by Goofy and Mickey Mouse, offering a well-rounded selection of core Disney personalities. As a 1962 mid-run issue, this number represents the series at full stride and remains a desirable example for collectors of early Turkish Disney publications.
