Description

This lot features an authentic copy of the French comic "Strange" number 27, dated March 5, 1972. This issue presents an iconic cover illustrating several Marvel superheroes from Stan Lee's universe. Daredevil (DD), Iron Man, Spider-Man, Falcon, and two secondary characters are visible on the cover, in dynamic poses typical of comics of that era.

The cover features a "Strange" title in large green lettering, accompanied by the mention "Les super-héros de Stan Lee" (Stan Lee's Superheroes) at the top of the page. The indication "tout en couleurs" (all in color) appears at the bottom, highlighting that this magazine offered fully colored comic strips, a significant selling point at its release in the early 70s.

The paper's appearance shows a consistent patina, typical of period paper, with ivory hues and some handling marks visible around the edges. The printing colors of the illustrations remain well-contrasted despite slight alteration due to time, giving the item a definite vintage charm. No major structural defects are observable on the front face, apart from small creases and slightly blunted corners.

The layout is typical of French Marvel comic publications from the early 1970s, with a graphic style faithful to the original American drawings of the Silver Age of comics. The characters are depicted in dynamic poses, classic costumes with vibrant colors, and well-defined outlines. The mentions "N. 27 MENSUEL 5 MARS 1972" and the prices for Morocco and Tunisia are printed in black on the left side.

This "Strange" comic no. 27 offers a representative visual of the magazine's golden age in France, with a focus on mysterious stories and Marvel superheroes. The photographed item is presented on a red textile background, suggesting a warm enhancement for the photo, but only the front of the magazine is visible here.
