AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An old movie magazine, this is issue 23 of the French magazine "Starfix", dated February 1985. The visually striking cover features a close-up portrait of a blood-stained male character from the movie "Razorback", with dramatic lighting characteristic of 80s specialist magazines. The "STARFIX" logo is printed at the top of the cover in a thick white typography typical of the decade.

The main headline on the front cover announces: "85: THE YEAR OF THE FREAKS", followed by cinema themes such as "Gangsters, rock-stars, commies and werewolves". The bottom banner reads "RAZORBACK The shock of Avoriaz!", referring to the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival, famous in the 1980s. The issue number, date and price are clearly printed at the bottom left: "N°23 – FÉVRIER 85 – 20F".

The layout and graphic style of the cover reflect the visual codes of genre cinema and specialist press of the era, with a striking contrast between the dark image and the white and red texts. No major defects are visible on the cover, apart from slight signs of wear on the spine, indicating careful handling but typical of a used vintage magazine.

The magazine is presented closed, only the front cover is visible. No interior content is shown, but the presence of thematic titles and the main visual suggest a central feature on the film "Razorback" and articles on the key figures of 1985 cinema, in line with Starfix's editorial policy.

The item is aimed at enthusiasts of old cinema press, 80s pop culture and memorabilia related to cult festivals and films. This vintage magazine is an original item for enhancing a library, a media space or a retro themed decoration.
