Vampirella – Issue #27 – Benli Yayınevi Turkish Edition (September 1977)

Description:

This comic is Issue #27 from the Turkish Vampirella series published by Benli Yayınevi between 1976 and 1978. The series ran for a total of 31 issues and, at this stage, represents the later phase of the monthly expanded 66-page format. These later issues are particularly notable for their dense and diverse anthology structure, combining Vampirella stories with a wide range of international horror and science fiction material.

Printed entirely in black and white and in a smaller comic book format (approximately 24 cm in height), this issue reflects the mature editorial direction of the series. Drawing from Warren Publishing’s Creepy and Eerie magazines as well as other global sources, the publication broadens its scope to include not only horror but also science fiction and experimental storytelling, offering a varied and engaging reading experience for collectors.

Issue #27 features “Vampirella – Kızıl Kraliçenin Dönüşü,” adapted from Vampirella #60 (1977), marking the return of the Blood Red Queen of Hearts and adding a key narrative element to Vampirella’s mythos. The issue also includes “Saklambaç” (from Unknown Worlds #21), alongside “Maymunlar Cehennemi,” adapted from Marvel’s Planet of the Apes Magazine (Quest for the Planet of the Apes), expanding the issue’s science fiction dimension. Additional stories such as “Evlenme Testleri” (from Star Reach #2 – Key Club) further diversify the content with unique and unconventional themes.

In addition, the issue includes “Uzay 1999” (Space: 1999), continuing the integration of science fiction material into the series. Beyond the comic content, this issue also features a dedicated Star Trek promotional page, reflecting the broader popularity of science fiction franchises during the period and adding an extra layer of collectible interest. The cover is adapted from Vampirella #60, directly aligning with the main story and reinforcing its appeal for collectors.
