AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The magazine shown in the photo is a copy of the famous comic strip periodical "Spirou". This is issue number 3489, as indicated by the inscription at the top left of the cover. This issue is dated 2005, identifiable by the contemporary graphic style of Calvin SÉCHÉ, whose signature appears on the cover illustration.

The cover features a humorous drawing typical of the series, with a dynamic scene: a character projected onto the ceiling while another, bewildered, observes the sofa with its springs visible. The phrase "Les Psy vous scotchent au plafond!" (The Shrinks will stick you to the ceiling!) is written in large white letters, emphasizing the quirky and satirical tone characteristic of the Spirou spirit.

The upper part of the cover features an illustrated strip with several vignettes of characters from the Spirou universe, as well as the title "SPIROU" in large brown and orange letters on a beige background. The barcode, price (€1.60), and the website address "spirou.com" are at the bottom, typical of publications from the early 2000s.

The magazine is displayed flat on a wooden desk, surrounded by old books, which highlights its "vintage" appearance and the observable quality of preservation on the visible side. No snags, folds, or tears appear on the cover. The colors are well preserved, with a slightly satin finish typical of printing from this period.

The spine and back of the magazine are not visible, and only the front cover can be described. The mentions "NOUVEAU! Surfez sur la vague uteliste p.34" (NEW! Ride the utelist wave p.34) and "La clé du mystère p.40" (The key to the mystery p.40) appear at the bottom of the page, suggesting specific sections or supplements for this issue.

Condition
