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 Álvarez-Rivón, Turey shows its readers the way the Taínos used to live before Puerto Rico was discovered by Christopher Columbus and his crew. It also depicts the many different words and instruments they used and how they battled their arch-enemies, the Caribs.
"Turey" is the Taíno word for "sky".
In 1999, the USPS's Hato Rey station honored the magazine by nicknaming the station the Turey station.
Currently the Turey Sunday strips are seen in El Nuevo Día. The character is featured in a section titled Mi pequeño día, which is directed towards children.[1]
