AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage "Lucky Luke 16 – En remontant le Mississippi" comic book, published by Dupuis. The cover features a typical early edition design with a monochrome engraving-style illustration of a steamboat on the river and a bright red handwritten main title. The inscription "Texte et illustrations de MORRIS" appears under the title, confirming the authenticity of the original work by the series' historical creator.

The printed mentions at the bottom of the cover indicate the publication cities: Marcinelle-Charleroi, Paris, Montreal, Brussels, The Hague, characteristic of Dupuis editions from that era. The number "16" appears in a black medallion at the top of the page, confirming the album's place in the classic Lucky Luke series chronology.

The cover shows visible signs of age: pronounced patina, marks, stains, and wear, including a dog-eared and creased bottom right corner, as well as various folds and soiling across the entire surface. The overall paper color is yellowed, typical of old editions, reinforcing the vintage look sought after by Franco-Belgian comic book enthusiasts.

The title print and original typography are well preserved despite the signs of wear. No other details of the interior content are visible in the photo. The format corresponds to that of the hardcover or softcover Lucky Luke albums produced by Dupuis during the 1950s to 1970s, although no precise date is legible here.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Cover shows visible signs of wear: folds, dog-eared corners, stains, and signs of age. Please examine the photo carefully to assess the overall condition.

Did you know? The album "En remontant le Mississippi" was initially published in 1961 and is inspired by Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Morris, creator of Lucky Luke, drew inspiration from the imagery of 19th-century paddle steamers to illustrate this river adventure.
