AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is a copy of "Journal Spirou", specifically the "Spirou.com" special issue n°3362 dated September 18, 2002. It is a weekly edition, as indicated by "65e année hebdomadaire" (65th weekly year), comprising 48 pages. The cover, particularly distinctive, features a colorful mosaic of characters in pixel art style on a multicolored background, evoking the world of retro video games and digital comics.

The title "Numéro Spécial Spirou.com" is prominently displayed on the cover, accompanied by the subtitle "Le nouveau supplément webdomadaire du journal Spirou" (The new web-weekly supplement of Journal Spirou), demonstrating a desire to link the paper edition to the digital news of the early 2000s. The classic Spirou mascot is also humorously featured in the top right, true to the magazine's spirit.

The bottom part of the cover displays the precise reference: "N°3362 18 09 2002 65e année hebdomadaire 48 pages 1,60 € 3,15 F", which clearly places the item in the early 2000s, at the intersection of traditional format and the web's first steps for youth press. The barcode is visible, confirming its newsstand distribution and the authenticity of the copy.

The overall presentation is in good visual condition on the front, with no apparent tears or stains. The colors remain vibrant, and the cover corners appear minimally worn. The lateral binding, typical of stapled magazines, is also visible. No details about the interior content, the back, or any potential supplements are visible in this photo.

This issue is sought after for its retro look, its unique pixelated graphic style, and its position at a pivotal period for Journal Spirou, between paper tradition and digital openness. It will appeal to both a fan of Franco-Belgian comics and an enthusiast of vintage graphic design or pixel art.

Condition

Used magazine, sold as is. The overall condition of the front cover is visually good, with no major apparent flaws. The other sides and the interior are not visible in the photo.

Did you know? Journal Spirou, created in 1938, is one of the oldest weekly comic books still published in Europe. This "Spirou.com" special issue reflects the magazine's adaptation to the digital age, marking the arrival of a web-weekly supplement as early as 2002, at a time when few youth titles were already exploring this hybrid format.
