Born in 1928, Bedri Koraman had been working as a cartoonist since 1947 and was especially known for his cartoons published on Sundays in Turkish Milliyet daily newspaper.

Koraman started working as a newspaper illustrator and cartoonist in Turkish media in the mid-1940s. During the 1950s, he published several satire magazines and in 1954 he started working with the Milliyet daily, for which he drew several comic strips. Koraman became a rare example of correspondent-cartoonists in Turkish press when he covered the infamous Yassıada junta trials of 1960 and 1961, which followed Turkey's 1960 military coup, via his cartoons in the paper. In the 1970s, Koraman became one of the first cartoonists in Turkish press to be featured on the front page of a daily when the slain journalist Abdi İpekçi, then the editor-in-chief of Milliyet, asked Koraman to draw cartoons to accompany political news stories for the front page. During the 1980s
Koraman also worked briefly with the Turkish newspaper Güneş.
