A bookmark featuring M.K. Perker’s “Alien” toy, exhibited at the Istanbul Toy Museum, rendered in his signature style.

The Story of the Toy: The comic book culture influenced the emergence of alien figures. Traces of this influence can be seen in the first alien toys produced under the light of the comic book world, which was born in 1895. World War I is known as the “War of the Bayonets.” The alien figure created in the 1920s, which looks as if it has stepped out of the pages of a comic book, is therefore launching a bayonet charge.
