Vampirella – Issue #13 – Benli Yayınevi Turkish Edition (1977)

Description:

This comic is Issue #13 from the Turkish Vampirella series published by Benli Yayınevi between 1976 and 1978. The series ran for a total of 31 issues and represents one of the early key publications that solidified Vampirella’s presence in the Turkish comic market. By this time, the series was being produced in its monthly expanded format with 66 pages, allowing for a richer anthology-style mix of Vampirella stories, standalone horror tales, and international adaptations.

Printed entirely in black and white and in a smaller comic book format (approximately 24 cm in height), this issue continues the series’ signature blend of gothic horror, suspense, and supernatural storytelling. Drawing from Warren Publishing’s Creepy and Eerie magazines, as well as Marvel’s supernatural characters, the anthology maintains a diverse reading experience for Turkish audiences and collectors alike.

Issue #13 features a Vampirella story from Vampirella #50 (1976), presenting a dramatic and atmospheric adventure of the iconic character. The issue also includes “Cep Saatindeki Dehşet” and “Tehlikeli Rüya,” two standalone horror stories that add variety and suspense to the anthology. Additionally, it presents “Yaşayan Vampir Morbius,” featuring Marvel’s Morbius the Living Vampire, providing a supernatural crossover that enhances the issue’s appeal to collectors and fans of both Vampirella and Marvel horror comics.

The cover is adapted from Vampirella #50, preserving the strong visual identity of the original series while presenting it in a localized Turkish format. This issue exemplifies the series’ successful combination of core Vampirella narratives, standalone horror content, and Marvel crossover material, making it a valuable collectible within the Benli Yayınevi run.
