Description
This cinema magazine titled "Impact" No. 12, presented by Mad Movies, is a vintage issue dedicated to cinematic news from the late 1980s. The cover, predominantly black and red, highlights the cult film "Robocop" with an iconic photo of the main character in metallic armor, gun in hand. On the left, an inset features Arnold Schwarzenegger for "Running Man," emphasizing the importance given to action and science fiction films of that period. Several catchy titles are printed in bright yellow: "Hellraiser," "Fantastique: Les films de 88" (Fantastic: The films of '88), "Polar U.S." (U.S. Thrillers), and "China Girl," reflecting the diversity of genres covered in this issue. The "Impact" logo is large, in red capital letters on a black background, with "N°12" in the upper right. The mention "Mad Movies présente" (Mad Movies presents) appears discreetly in the upper left.

The magazine features a visual layout typical of specialized cinema publications from the late 80s, with direct graphics, contrasting colors, and images from the flagship films of the era. The photo of Robocop occupies most of the cover, while Schwarzenegger's portrait is inserted in a separate box. The bottom of the cover displays prices for Belgium, Canada, and Spain, as well as a barcode and the reference "M 3226 - 12 - 20.00 F".

The item shows a shiny surface, with no apparent traces of creases, stains, or tears on the visible side. The corners are clean, and the cover appears well-preserved, indicating a very satisfactory visual condition for an item from this era. The printing of titles and logos is clear, with no perceptible fading or discoloration.
