Description

This magazine shown in the photo is an original copy of L'Écran Fantastique, an iconic French magazine dedicated to fantasy, science fiction, and adventure cinema. The cover features a colorful and typical 1980s visual, with an exuberant extraterrestrial creature with prominent eyes in the foreground, against a Santa Claus sleigh backdrop, illustrating the thematic diversity of the issue. The magazine's title is clearly legible at the top, in white typography on a blue background, immediately recognizable by cinema press enthusiasts.

The table of contents displayed on the cover highlights several major features: Science Fiction, Explorers, Wonderful, Santa Claus, Adventure, The Goonies. The mention "...and the films of 1986!" indicates an issue dedicated to the significant releases of that year, with a focus on cult films and the genre cinema news of the time.

The cover design, with its vibrant colors (blue, red, orange) and its composition blending photography and illustration, reflects the retro aesthetic of specialized publications from that decade. The visual condition of the front cover shows a copy in very good apparent condition: no major creases, sharp corners, well-preserved colors, with no visible discoloration or tearing in the photographed area.

The left edge suggests a stapled binding typical of magazines from that era, with no signs of tearing on the visible part. The white and orange inscriptions on the cover are clear, without fading. The image only shows the front cover; no information about the back or interior is visible.

Used magazine in very good apparent condition for its age, sold as-is. Only the front cover is visible in the photo, with no major defects observed.
