AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This vintage cinema magazine is an original copy of the famous French periodical Starfix, specifically issue number 34, dated March 1986 (visible at the bottom of the cover). The cover features a very distinctive photographic portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger, star of the film "Commando," an icon of 1980s action cinema. The visual utilizes a high-contrast color photograph, typical of the aesthetic of the decade, with a dynamic graphic layout: titles in white lettering and red geometric elements, against a background of a muscular and expressive portrait.
The cover design displays several article titles, notably "HOLLYWOOD BICEPS" and "REVOLUTION," as well as taglines about the world of muscle cinema and Hugh Hudson's new film. The Starfix logo, at the top, is accompanied by the mention "L’ÉVÉNEMENT-CINEMA" (The Cinema Event). The whole reflects the spirit and cinephile culture of the 1980s, with an emphasis on Hollywood action cinema.
The magazine shown in the photo has stapled binding on the left, a straight spine, and generally neat corners. The surface of the cover shows a slight sheen, without excessive reflections, and the colors remain vibrant, without apparent discoloration. No tears, major creases, or writing marks are visible on the front. The typography and layout are emblematic of specialized cinema press of that era.
At the bottom of the cover, you can see the reference "M 2654 - N° 34 - 20 F," the original price in francs, and the prices for several French-speaking countries, indicating the international distribution of the title. This issue is aimed at fans of vintage press, cinema memorabilia, and retro publications related to the 7th art.
The photograph presented only shows the front cover of the magazine. No details about the back, interior content, or condition of the pages are visible in the image.
