Turey

Turey is a Puerto Rican comic book magazine that is published since 1989. Originally a comic strip on the now defunct El Mundo[?] newspaper, Turey debuted at Puerto Rico's news stands as a magazine in October of that year.

Published by Editorial Manos[?] and written and drawn by Ricardo Alvarez-Rivon[?], Turey shows its readers the way the Tainos used to live before Puerto Rico was discovered by Cristobal Colon and his crews. It also depicts the many different words and instruments they used and how they battled their arch-enemies, the Caribs.

In 1999, the USPS's Hato Rey[?] station honored the magazine by nicknaming the station the Turey station.
