AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This visible magazine is a copy of the famous Franco-Belgian comic strip periodical Spirou, identifiable by its bright orange logo on a yellow background at the top of the cover. This is issue 3476, as indicated in the upper left. The cover highlights the story "Jojo in the Land of the Morning Calm", with a detailed and colorful illustration depicting the character Jojo leaping in front of traditional Asian architecture. Several secondary characters are also visible, drawn in a style characteristic of European humorous comic strips.

The upper part of the cover features a comic strip in vignettes, typical of the layout of Spirou magazines from the 1990s-2000s. It features famous characters such as Gaston Lagaffe, Boule et Bill, and Spirou himself. The entire cover is printed in vibrant colors, with great attention to graphic details and dynamic layout.

In the lower left, there is a barcode with the reference "M 03251 - 3476", as well as the price at the time "F: 1,60 €", which indicates its publication after the introduction of the euro in France (from 2002 onwards). The mention of the "spirou.com" website confirms an edition published after the creation of the magazine's website. Various inserts at the bottom of the cover announce internal sections or articles, such as "Cactus Club p.23" or "Future jobs: become a blork breeder p.21".

The magazine has a classic rectangular shape, with a flexible cover and straight edges. No major defects are visible on the front: the cover retains its colors, without tears or apparent folds, although slight signs of wear are visible on the corners, typical of a used magazine.

The graphic style and layout, as well as the presence of certain characters, place this copy within the tradition of Spirou publications from the late 20th or early 21st century. The object is presented in an environment evoking a library, against a backdrop of old books and vintage office objects, which highlights its retro and heritage character.

Condition

This magazine is used and sold as is. Some minor signs of wear are visible on the cover (corner wear, light handling marks), but no major defects are to be reported on the visible side.
