Description
The magazine presented is an old issue of the famous Franco-Belgian comic book periodical "Spirou," identifiable by its iconic cover. The issue number visible on the spine is No. 3004, featuring a humorous illustration highlighting the character of Sammy, recognizable by his hat and yellow trench coat, accompanied by another character in a purple and red outfit. The cover displays a graphic style typical of the 1960s/1970s, with vivid colors and accentuated lines, characteristic of the great illustrators of the era.

The layout of the front page features the "SPIROU" logo in black and yellow letters on a yellow background, with the title displayed vertically on the left. The tagline "UN RETOUR QUI PÈTE DU FEU : SAMMY !" (A FIERY RETURN: SAMMY!) is printed in black on a yellow background, highlighting content focused on the return of the Sammy series, a classic of Franco-Belgian humorous comics. At the bottom left, a barcode and the original price (30.00 F) are visible, confirming the authenticity of the magazine.

The overall condition of the cover shows some folds and signs of use, particularly on the lower right part and along the spine, indicating regular handling but without apparent tears or visible missing parts on the front. The paper's sheen and the sharpness of the colors are still present, despite slight handling marks, which is typical for this type of old magazine.

The magazine is photographed placed on a wooden table, with a background setting of old books, which enhances its vintage appearance and its appeal to fans of historical comic books. The illustrated cover immediately catches the eye with its retro style and expressive characters, emblematic of the Spirou spirit.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Visible signs of wear on the cover (folds, small marks). No apparent missing parts on the front. The interior and back are not visible in the photo.
