AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine is an issue of the famous comic book periodical "Spirou", here in its special edition dedicated to football. This is issue number 3454, as indicated on the spine and cover. The cover features a contemporary and humorous illustration, typical of Spirou's graphic style in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It shows a character dressed in a blue and yellow tracksuit, blowing a vuvuzela in front of a television from which a football emerges, under the gaze of another character sitting on a red sofa, visibly less enthusiastic. Several vignettes of iconic characters from the series scroll across the top of the cover.

The dominant colors are blue, yellow, and red, with a recognizable Spirou typography in yellow letters on a blue background. The mention "Spécial Foot" (Football Special) is highlighted, indicating a thematic issue around football. The dynamic layout combines speech bubbles and modern graphic elements, true to the magazine's humorous and quirky spirit.

On the bottom part, there is the barcode, the original price (€1.90), as well as mentions of some contributors such as Denis Lapière and Oscar Bourbier. The spine displays the issue number (3454) and the publication date, which seems to correspond to a period from the late 20th or early 21st century (visual and price in euros), typical of so-called "retro" or "vintage" editions in the world of comic magazines.

The cover does not show any visible tears, but there is a slight bulging of the paper and some moderate creases on the edges, classic signs of a magazine that has been read and handled. The printing remains clear and the colors vibrant, without apparent discoloration. The overall condition is visually correct for an old, used periodical.

Condition

Used magazine, sold as is. Slight handling marks and small creases on the cover visible in the photo. The unseen interior is not described.
