Süper Korku #20 late 80s Turkish Comic Turkey Creepy Eerie From the Darkness #1 Vampirella

Süper Korku – Issue #20 – Alfa Yayınları Turkish Edition (5th Series)

Description:

This comic magazine is Issue #20 from the fifth Süper Korku series published by Alfa Yayınları. The series ran for a total of 20 issues and, although no publication date is printed, it is generally estimated to have been released between 1988 and 1990. It represents a later phase of the Süper Korku line, continuing the tradition of presenting international horror comics to Turkish readers in anthology format.

Printed in black and white, this series reflects the compact and content-rich style of late 1980s Turkish horror publications. The content consists of a few Turkish text-only stories but is primarily made up of Turkish reprints from American publishers. These include Warren titles such as Blazing Combat, Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella; Marvel publications like Dracula Lives!, Marvel Preview, Tales of the Zombie, and Vampire Tales; as well as additional material from Chroniques de la Lune Noire: Le Vent des Dragons (Zenda), Nightmare (Skywald), Voodoo (Ajax/Farrell), and Weird Tales of the Macabre (Seaboard). This wide editorial scope provides a diverse and layered horror anthology experience.

Issue #20, the final issue of the series, presents a strong and cohesive selection of stories centered around classic Warren horror and dark fantasy themes. The lineup includes “Kelebek Avı” (A Rush of Wings, Eerie #28), “Şampiyon” (Friedhelm the Magnificent, Creepy #46), and multiple selections from Vampirella such as “Aşk ve Ölüm Oyunu” (Love Is No Game, Vampirella #20), “Dehşetin Gözleri” (Vampirella #20), and “Işıktan Kılıç” (The Sword of Light, Vampirella #14).

The issue also features notable contributions from international creators, including “Kanayan Çöl” by José M. Bea and “Dehşete Aşık” by Jan S. Strnad, alongside additional stories such as “İçimizdeki Canavar,” “Alev Çemberi,” and “Ölüm Kapıyı Çalmaz.” The cover is adapted from From the Darkness #1 (1990) by Ed Polgardy and illustrated by Jim Balent, giving the issue a modern horror aesthetic that contrasts with the classic material inside.

As the concluding issue of the fifth series, this edition carries added collector significance. It encapsulates the editorial direction of late-period Süper Korku, combining established Warren material with diverse international influences. For collectors, its status as the final issue, along with its strong story selection and striking cover, makes it a particularly desirable piece.
