Walt Disney – Miki Haftalık Mecmua – Issue #56, Pulhan Yayınları, 1963

Description:

This is Issue #56 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 remains the longest-lived Disney-character magazine published in Turkey and represents a cornerstone of early Turkish Disney publishing.

Printed weekly in Turkish, the magazine reflects the production standards of the early 1960s. To reduce printing costs, issues typically combine black-and-white interior pages with selected color sections, a deliberate and common practice of the period. This mixed-format approach has since become a defining visual trait of the Pulhan-era Miki issues and contributes to their historical authenticity.

Issue #56, published in 1963, features Donald Duck on the cover, adding strong visual appeal through one of Disney’s most iconic and expressive characters. Inside, the issue includes comic stories starring Donald Duck as well as appearances by Chip 'n Dale, offering a lively and character-driven reading experience. As an early-1963 issue, this number represents the series during its mature and most stable phase, making it an attractive collectible for enthusiasts of classic Disney weeklies.
