AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This original issue of "Nouveau Tintin" magazine features a vibrantly illustrated cover with a red-to-green gradient and a graphic scene highlighting two robotic characters, one of which is titled "Beany the raccoon." The title "tintin" appears in highly visible green letters, topped by "nouveau" in black. The tagline "L’hebdomadaire des jeunes de 7 à 77 ans" (The weekly for young people from 7 to 77) is printed in white below the main title, emphasizing the periodical's historical identity.

The cover displays a dynamic drawing typical of Franco-Belgian comics from the 1970s-80s, with anthropomorphic robots, one projecting a ray onto the other, surrounded by yellow graphic effects. The phrase "Beany the raccoon" is inscribed in bright red at the bottom of the page, directly related to the content or series highlighted in this issue.

On the left edge, the reference "n°118" is clearly visible, as well as prices for France and Switzerland, allowing for precise identification of this edition. The stapled binding is visible, typical of magazines from this era, and the spine shows slight wear, particularly at the top of the back, where a small white mark and a discrete crease are noticeable.

The background of the cover, with its gradient and graphic style, strongly evokes the vintage period of illustrated youth press. No other characters or text are visible on this side, apart from the elements already mentioned. The overall condition is consistent with a vintage magazine, with possible moderate signs of use (see photo).

This magazine is an authentic copy of youth comic press, sought after for its original illustrations and historical interest in the world of Franco-Belgian comics. The cover colors are well preserved, and the whole offers a presentation faithful to the editorial spirit of the 70s-80s.
