Vintage BD Mustang comic album, bound, #79 Semic, old retro western

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This lot is a hardcover comic book album, identifiable as number 79 in the "Mustang" series, published by Semic. The visible cover features a typical classic Western drawing, depicting two emblematic characters: a cowboy dressed in a yellow shirt, blue pants, and a holster belt, and a Native American in full traditional costume with a richly colored feathered headdress adorned with red, yellow, white, and black. The background, in ocher tones, evokes a setting of the American West plains.

The cover illustration is characterized by a retro graphic style, typical of popular French comic books from the 1970s-1980s. In the upper left, a printed label indicates "Semic", "ALBUM RELIE N°79", "23 F" and the ISBN (0790-117X), elements confirming the edition and numbering. The title "Mustang" is written in legible, underlined blue handwritten letters, typical of the series' branding.

The left edge of the cover shows slight signs of wear and age, particularly some marks on the edges and corners, which is common for a vintage work of this type. The overall impression remains clear, with colors still very vibrant, especially on the clothing and headdress of the Native American character.

No details are visible on the spine or back of the album, as these are not shown in the photo. The observed format is that of a classic hardcover album, typical of publications from the period mentioned, with no precise dimensions stated.

The inscriptions and illustrations are well-centered, and the overall aesthetic is retro, faithful to the spirit of Franco-Belgian comic book Westerns.
