Description

This magazine shown in the photo is an original copy of the famous comic book periodical "Spirou," issue number 3464. The cover features a colorful illustration highlighting the character L'Épervier, armed with a musket and dressed in period costume, illustrating the characteristic historical adventure style of the series. The inscription "L'Épervier vole au secours d'un ange!" ("The Sparrowhawk flies to the aid of an angel!") occupies the center of the cover, on a light background, and highlights the main theme of this issue.

At the top, the distinctive "SPIROU" logo appears in yellow and red tones, accompanied by vignettes of emblematic characters such as Agent 212, Spirou and Fantasio, and other heroes of the magazine. Issue number 3464 is clearly visible on the left side in a yellow circle, as well as the original price (1.60 €) and the barcode at the bottom left.

The mentions at the bottom of the cover also indicate secondary articles or sections, with titles such as "Docteur, je sais tout : pourquoi votre même pique ! p.10" ("Doctor, I know everything: why your same sting! p.10") and "La fin du voyage à Kinshasa p.15" ("The end of the journey to Kinshasa p.15"). A red banner highlights the website "SPIROU.COM" and other topics in this issue.

The magazine is presented in a classic format, with a soft cover, with a predominance of natural colors and pastel tones, typical of Franco-Belgian comic book publications from the late 20th or early 21st century. The overall aesthetic and the illustrated characters evoke a vintage style, reinforced by the typography and the traditional layout of the title.

The spine and front face are visible and do not show any apparent major defects in the photo. The cover appears to be in good overall condition, although a precise examination would be necessary to assess the absence of finer creases or signs of wear.
