AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The magazine shown in the photo is issue 3463 of the famous comic book periodical "Spirou". Its cover features a colorful and modern graphic design, typical of Spirou's editorial line in the 2000s. The main title "Bioutifoulland Beach: don't let others be beautiful for you!" takes up a large space on a blue background reminiscent of the summer sky, accompanied by an illustration depicting a humorous beach scene, with several characters lying on deckchairs. The overall layout, drawing style, and vibrant color palette indicate a contemporary edition, post-1970s.

At the top of the cover, "SPIRou" is written in green letters on a yellow background, surrounded by comic character vignettes. The number 3463 is clearly visible in a yellow circle on the left. The top bar also features excerpts from comic strips or characters, reinforcing the comic book nature of the magazine.

The bottom left corner shows the barcode, reference M03251-3463, and the price displayed at €1.60. Several editorial taglines are printed at the bottom of the page, such as "Find the interview with a cannon designer p.28", "The White Women contaminated p.29", and "Flood of Olympic records at 33, rue Garabaldi p.24". The website spirou.com is also mentioned, confirming its publication in the Internet era.

The glossy paper cover has a sharp print and rich colors. No major flaws are visible in the image: no apparent creases, stains, or tears, but the condition description is based solely on the visible side.
