Description

This movie magazine is a copy of the famous French title "Mad Movies", issue 98, as seen on the cover. Its front page features a color portrait of the two main characters from the cult series "The X-Files", with the title "Enquête Aux Frontières du Réel…" (Investigation to the Borders of Reality…) clearly inscribed at the bottom right. An inset visual highlights Keanu Reeves for the release of the film "Johnny Mnemonic", accompanied by the mention "Keanu Reeves, ultra-speed in Johnny Mnemonic".

The "Mad Movies" logo appears at the top of the cover in its iconic red typography with a white shadow, on a black background. The phrase "Ciné Fantastique" (Fantastic Cinema) is in yellow lettering at the top left. The magazine number, "98", is printed in white at the top right. The cover features a typical 1990s graphic design, with a gradient dot pattern background, vibrant and contrasting colors, and a visual arrangement characteristic of specialized press from that period.

At the bottom left, the barcode, prices for different countries (France, Spain, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, French-speaking Africa) and the reference "M 2016 - 98 - 25.00 F - RD" are clearly visible. No major defects appear on the front, apart from a slight mark in the upper left corner, which confirms the excellent overall state of preservation observable in the photograph.

The cover clearly emphasizes fantastic and science fiction cinema, highlighting two emblematic universes of the 1990s: the series "The X-Files" and the film "Johnny Mnemonic". The printing is clear, the colors well preserved, and the whole immediately evokes the vintage aesthetic typical of this era of specialized film press.

The magazine is presented in natural light, flat on a surface, which allows one to appreciate the brightness of the cover and the absence of major creases or stains on the visible side.
