Punisher – Issue #12 – Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları (1992)

Description:

T

This is Issue #12 of the Turkish Punisher comic series published by Alfa Yayınları in 1992, as part of the complete 18-issue run released in Turkey between 1991 and 1992. As with the other issues in the series, it was printed in Turkish and in black and white, despite the original American editions being full color.

The series focuses on Frank Castle’s uncompromising war against organized crime. The Turkish editions are distinctive for their editorial and marketing choices, often pairing interior stories with dramatic cover art sourced from different original U.S. issues.

Issue #12 illustrates this approach. The cover artwork comes from The Punisher Magazine #13, while the interior contains two stories: “Kanlı Koğuş Devamı” (Punisher #5 Part 2) and “Bilgisayarla Savaş” (Punisher Vol. 2 #17 – Computer War). Neither story matches the cover, reflecting a deliberate sales strategy by the publisher to attract readers using visually compelling covers.
