Comic book Nevada album #65 vintage old western retro comic

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot concerns a comic book album titled NEVADA, shown here in its Album n°65 version. The cover features an illustration typical of Western comics, depicting an armed rider on horseback leaping over a fence, while a cowboy character with a revolver in hand occupies the foreground. The dominant colors are the aged beige of the background, enhanced by bright touches: red for the title, green, blue, and brown for the characters and scenery. The graphic style, very representative of popular French comic books from the 1960s-1970s, is distinguished by its dynamic lines and flat colors.

The cover shows clear signs of wear, including marked creases, scratches, and crumpling visible across the entire front face. The corners appear rounded and slightly dog-eared, indicating frequent handling and prolonged storage. The spine of the book is not visible in the photo, but the edge also appears to be marked by time. The printing of the title "NEVADA" in large red letters with a blue outline, as well as the mention "ALBUM N° 65" in black, are perfectly legible on the upper right part.

The cover design highlights the Western universe dear to the Nevada series, with its prairie backdrop, wooden fence, and characters with heroic attitudes. The dynamic staging and suggested action (horse jump, drawn weapon) are typical of the genre, enhancing the visual appeal of the item for retro comic book and Western enthusiasts. The large, colorful font of the title corresponds to the popular aesthetic of French kiosk publications of the era.

The item displays a consistent patina, handling marks, and scuff marks across the entire visible surface. The cover appears to be made of cardboard, typical of comic book albums from this period, but no mention of material is explicitly indicated in the keywords.
