AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is a vintage issue of the specialized monthly "L’Écran Fantastique," an iconic magazine for genre cinema. The cover, in apparent very good condition, features a color photograph of a character from the film "Dune" directed by David Lynch, identifiable by the typical attire and aesthetic of the feature film. The magazine title is clearly legible at the top, with the mention "La nouvelle dimension du cinéma" (The new dimension of cinema).

The cover titles announce features dedicated to several major films of the era: "Monumental DUNE," "Delirious BRAZIL," "Terrifying RAZORBACK," and "Enigmatic STAR TREK 3." The lettering is colorful, alternating handwritten yellow and bright red, against a backdrop of a photograph from the film "Dune."

The top left edge shows slight flexibility, with no apparent tears. The layout, typical of 1980s cinema magazines, with a distinct graphic design and clear hierarchy of main subjects, is indicative of the publishing period.

At the bottom of the cover, the precise issue reference is visible: "FEVRIER 1985 / N°53 / 22 F – CANADA 2.75". This confirms it is issue 53 from February 1985, originally sold in France and Canada. The other mentions ("M 1462-53-22 F") confirm the official numbering.

The visible surface of the cover shows no major signs of wear or significant discoloration. The corners appear slightly marked but remain crisp, with no heavy creases or visible tears on this side. The four-color printing is true to the quality of paper editions from that era.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible front in apparent very good condition: glossy cover, preserved colors, slight marks on the corners with no major defects observed in the photo.

Did you know? The magazine "L’Écran Fantastique," founded in 1970, is one of the major French magazines dedicated to fantasy, science fiction, and horror cinema.
