Abstract
This essay sets out to provide answers to these questions, but its primary focus is to trace the influence of the punk subculture in Turkish comics and cartoons, particularly in two magazines, L-Manyak (L-Maniac) and Lombak (Pop Eyed). It outlines the history of the punk subculture in Turkey, discussing how punk has been appropriated by the Turkish youth. The role of cartoonists, who often act as disseminators of underground culture within the mainstream humor magazines, is vital to this process. Since the 1980s, during which the global youth subcultures of metal and punk entered Turkey, cartoonists have been their ambassadors.
