AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot is for an original copy of the monthly comic book "NOVA", issue 58, published by Marvel in November 1982, as shown on the cover. This French edition features iconic characters from the Marvel universe, including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and other superheroes, as depicted in the dynamic action scene on the front page. The cover features retro graphics typical of the early 80s, with the title "NOVA" in large blue letters and "avec les Fantastiques!" (featuring the Fantastic Four!) in red. The illustration shows Spider-Man, Colossus, and Spider-Woman in an urban combat scene, typical of comics from this period. The "Collection Super Héros LUG" logo is also visible in yellow and red on the right side, attesting to the French edition by the publisher LUG, a reference for Marvel comics in France at the time.

The front cover of the magazine shows numerous visible signs of wear: dog-eared corners, tears on the upper right corner, fold marks, scuffs and dirt on the surface, as well as slight discoloration due to age. The bottom of the cover displays the reference M-2243-58-5,50 Fr., corresponding to the issue number and original price. The Spider-Man logo appears at the top left, next to "Marvel présente" (Marvel presents) and information on the periodicity and price in French and Swiss francs. The illustration is distinguished by its vibrant colors, typical of vintage Marvel comics, with dominant blues, reds, and yellows.

The cover paper has a yellowed and patinated appearance, with ripple marks and aging, reinforcing the authenticity of this old issue. No visible handwritten annotations or added stickers are noted on the observed side. The binding is partially visible on the left, showing significant wear, without loss of readability on the main elements of the cover.
