AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This film magazine is a copy of the famous French periodical Starfix, issue number 15, dated May 1984. The cover features a color photograph of Mel Gibson and an actress, both in close-up, against a plant background evoking an exotic and summery atmosphere. The main headlines on the front page highlight the key subjects of this issue: "Videodrome Debbie Harry", "Bounty Mel Gibson", "Stars and Glamour", and "A Mermaid in New York". The typical 80s layout, with its colorful fonts (pink, light blue, white), reinforces the retro aspect of this publication.

The visual aspect of the magazine shows a soft, satin-finish cover, printed in four colors. The colors remain vibrant and the main image, centered on the two actors, is sharp. At the bottom of the page, the precise numbering ("N° 15 - MAI 84 - 17 F") as well as the mention "MENSUEL" (MONTHLY) confirm the periodicity of the title. The ISSN 0758-6659 is also visible at the top right, attesting to the official edition.

The top right edge and the bottom edge show slight signs of wear visible in the photo, typical of a well-preserved vintage magazine. No missing parts, major folds, or tears are perceptible on the front, suggesting a very satisfactory overall condition for an issue from this period.

The cover features the film "Bounty" with Mel Gibson, a cinematic topical subject in 1984, as well as other emblematic themes of this decade's pop culture. This issue is particularly representative of the aesthetic and subjects covered by Starfix during its golden age.

The visible format is that of a standard square-bound magazine, typical of French monthly publications of the 80s, with a pagination probably between 80 and 130 pages for this type of review (indicative information, to be verified according to the content not visible here).

Condition

Used magazine, sold as is. The cover shows slight signs of edge wear, with no major apparent defects on the visible front. The colors are well preserved and the overall condition is very good for a magazine from this period.

Did you know? Starfix, created in 1983 by Christophe Gans, Doug Headline, and Nicolas Boukhrief, quickly established itself as one of the most influential film magazines in France in the 80s, notably through its in-depth approach to genre cinema and its innovative visual layout. The magazine is now recognized for popularizing Hollywood and independent cinema among the French public, while also highlighting films and actors who were then little publicized in the traditional press.
