Description

This vintage magazine, titled L’Écran Fantastique, is presented here in its original September 1987 version, as indicated by the inscription visible at the bottom of the cover. It is a periodical specializing in fantasy cinema, science fiction, and news about genre film releases. The cover features the film "The Living Daylights," with a close-up color photograph of an actor portraying James Bond, holding a rifle equipped with a scope. The magazine's title, in red letters on a black background, is clearly visible at the top of the page.

The cover is distinguished by its vibrant color blocks, typical of 1980s publications, with light blue, yellow, and red boxes for the main titles: "THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS James Bond," "PREVIEWS Films 87/88," and "SPECIAL EFFECTS Computer-generated imagery." The overall effect creates a strong visual impact, characteristic of cinema press from that era.

At the bottom right, there is a barcode, the original price ("25.00 F"), the issue reference ("N°84/25F"), and the precise date ("September 1987"). The magazine is printed on coated paper, with a slightly glossy matte finish, typical of specialized magazines from the late 1980s.

The overall condition observable in the photo shows a clean cover, with very slightly curved corners, no visible tears or stains. The colors remain sharp and well-contrasted, with no apparent discoloration. The spine and interior pages are not visible in this image; only the front cover is described here.

This issue features a central dossier on James Bond, as well as an overview of upcoming films for 1987/88 and a focus on special effects and computer-generated imagery, topics particularly sought after by enthusiasts of retro cinema and film history.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The cover shows very slight traces of use visible on the corners, with no major apparent defects.
