Süper Korku #9 late 80s Turkish Comic Turkey Warren Creepy Eerie Blade
Süper Korku – Issue #9 – Alfa Yayınları Turkish Edition (5th Series)
Description:
This comic magazine is Issue #9 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 #9 features a varied selection of supernatural and gothic horror stories. Highlights include “Vampir Avcısı Bled,” “Josie Harper’ın Öldüğü Gece” (Marvel Preview #3 – Blade), and “Bataklık Canavarı” (The Bog Beast, Weird Tales of the Macabre #2), each contributing different aspects of horror ranging from vampire hunting to swamp creature mythology. The issue also includes “Hayalet – Craker Meyer’in Kilisesi,” “Mukaddese El Sürme” (Desecration, Creepy #66), “Açlık,” “Ölümden Önceki Çığlık,” and “Mr. Hyde Geliyor” (Eerie #53), reinforcing the anthology’s balance between psychological tension and classic monster-driven narratives. The cover is adapted from Chroniques de la Lune Noire, adding a distinct European dark fantasy aesthetic to the issue.
For collectors, this issue stands out for its broad mix of sources, including Marvel, Warren, and European material, as well as its Chroniques de la Lune Noire cover. As part of the later Süper Korku series, it reflects the evolution of the publication into a more internationally diverse horror anthology.
