The Punisher #4 1991 Turkish Comic Turkey #26 “What If… Had Killed Daredevil?” Spider-Man
Punisher – Issue #4 – Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları (1991)
Description:
This is Issue #4 of the Turkish Punisher comic series published by Alfa Yayınları in 1991. As part of the same run released between 1991 and 1992, this issue follows the established format of the series: Turkish language, softcover, and printed in black and white despite the original American edition being in full color. This cost-saving approach was standard practice for Turkish Marvel publications of the early 1990s.
Unlike some earlier issues in the series, Issue #4 stands out for its consistency between cover and interior content. Both the cover and the story are taken from What If…? Vol. 2 #26, titled “What If… the Punisher Had Killed Daredevil?”. The cover prominently features Spider-Man alongside the Punisher, clearly signaling the alternate-universe premise of the story.
The What If…? series explores hypothetical scenarios that diverge from established Marvel continuity. In this particular story, readers are presented with a darker alternate outcome in which the Punisher crosses a critical moral line by killing Daredevil. The presence of Spider-Man underscores the broader impact of this act within the Marvel universe, highlighting themes of responsibility, consequence, and the fragile balance between justice and vengeance.
This issue is especially notable within the Turkish Punisher run because it presents a complete, self-contained alternate reality story with full cover-to-content alignment, making it both accessible to casual readers and appealing to collectors.
