Description This magazine, visible in the photo, is issue number 38 of the cinema periodical "Impact." The cover is predominantly blue and features a photograph of a muscular actor striking a combat pose, easily identifiable as Jean-Claude Van Damme, an iconic figure in 90s martial arts films. To the right, a vignette highlights the film "Basic Instinct" with a famous scene of the main couple, while in the bottom right corner is an image of Catwoman, played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the film "Batman Returns."

The title "IMPACT" is printed in red capital letters with a yellow outline, accompanied by a white and red target logo. The number "38" appears in the top right, specifying the issue reference. Several article titles are clearly visible, including "Martial Arts from Bruce Lee to Van Damme," "Catwoman, Feline for Batman," and "Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction?", indicating a summary centered on action cinema, Hollywood stars, and cult films of the era.

The layout is typical of specialized magazines from the 90s, with a dynamic composition blending photographs, colorful lettering, and thematic boxes. The spine and cover show a slight curve, but no major defects are visible on the exposed face. The magazine appears to be in very good used condition, with no tears or signs of moisture on the visible cover.

The barcode and price information are printed in the bottom left, with indications for Belgium, Switzerland, and France, confirming a French-language edition distributed in Europe. The overall presentation, topics covered, and aesthetics correspond to vintage specialized cinema press, particularly appreciated for its features on action films and big-screen celebrities.
