This lot includes an authentic copy of "Le Nouveau Pif et son gadget" magazine no. 824, an iconic publication from the French youth press. The predominantly blue and yellow cover features a graphic design typical of the 1980s, with illustrations of cartoon characters in action.

On the visible side, the "Pif" logo is clearly distinguishable in the upper left, along with issue number 824, and the original price (9F). Several advertising taglines announce the content, including "Le gadget qui fait clac!" (The gadget that goes clack!) and a special mention "Manivelle: l’avant-dernière séance" (Crank: the penultimate session). There is also an illustrated medallion of a bear, accompanied by the text "Sur toute la terre : sauver les ours" (Across the whole earth: save the bears), as well as a reference to the series "ArgyR La Planète Océan" (ArgyR The Ocean Planet).

The entire cover features colorful graphics, action bubbles, and striking typography, characteristic of illustrated youth press of that era. The characters drawn in the lower left and right confirm the comic book universe, with a humorous and dynamic style, true to the spirit of Pif Gadget. The magazine is stacked on other similar copies, suggesting a slight bulging of the visible cover.
