AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This movie magazine is a copy of the French periodical "Impact," number 54. The cover features a striking visual with a large "Impact" title in yellow and red, topped by the banner "From Spider-Man to Judge Dredd: all comics in cinema!" It highlights two major figures of cinema: Tom Cruise, photographed in his vampire role for "Interview with the Vampire," and Robert De Niro in the appearance of Frankenstein's monster. The dynamic layout includes colorful texts (red, blue, white) and a graphic yellow stitching pattern crossing the cover diagonally, evoking the Frankenstein theme.

The visible surface of the magazine shows a glossy finish, typical of 1990s movie magazines. The upper right corner indicates number 54 as well as the price in francs. The presence of the barcode and price mentions for different countries confirms its international distribution at the time. No major defects are visible on the front face: the lower left corner is clean, the visible spine shows no pronounced creases, and the cover reveals no stains or tears.

The main cover texts highlight two major features: "Tom Cruise Lord of Darkness in Interview with the Vampire" and "Robert De Niro monstrous human puzzle in Frankenstein." These editorial choices indicate an issue focused on fantasy cinema and comic book adaptations, as also suggested by the upper banner. The overall aesthetic, with its vibrant colors and graphic composition, is typical of specialized cinema press of the 90s.

The magazine is presented flat on a dark background, revealing only the front cover. No interior content, nor the back, is visible in the photo. The overall condition of the front face is very good, with no noticeable signs of wear, which is rare for a periodical of this era.
