The Punisher #13 1992 Turkish Comic Turkey Vol 2 #17 Magazine #8

Punisher – Issue #13 – Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları (1992)

Description:

This is Issue #13 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. Like the other issues in the series, it was printed in Turkish and in black and white, even though the original American editions were published in full color.

The series follows the Punisher character from Marvel Comics, chronicling Frank Castle’s relentless war against organized crime. The Turkish editions are distinctive for their editorial choices, often pairing interior stories with visually compelling cover art sourced from different original U.S. issues.

Issue #13 exemplifies this approach. The cover artwork references The Punisher Magazine #8, while the interior story is sourced from Punisher Vol. 2 #17, titled “Computer War.” As a result, the cover and interior story do not align, reflecting a deliberate marketing strategy by the publisher to attract readers with dramatic and eye-catching covers, regardless of story continuity.
