AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine presented is an original copy of the famous weekly comic book "Spirou," identifiable by its characteristic cover featuring the large title "SPIRou" in black letters on a light background. The copy for sale bears the mention "No 2315" in the upper left corner, dated 1981, which allows its publication period to be precisely identified. The cover illustrates several witch characters flying on brooms, in a graphic style typical of Franco-Belgian comics from the 1980s. A large inscription "Mélusine: and now, she takes off!" appears in white in the lower right part, indicating the presence of an episode or a feature dedicated to this emblematic character.

The magazine features a vertical composition, with a predominance of green, black, and ochre hues, and a textured gray background. The left edge shows the spine of the magazine, with visual wear consistent with a vintage item that has been leafed through. In the bottom left, a vertical barcode is visible, a characteristic detail of Spirou editions from this period.

The illustrations of witches are drawn with dynamic lines, with exaggerated and humorous expressions, a signature of the magazine's mischievous tone. The mention "The slogan-free newspaper!" appears under the main title, an editorial nod typical of Spirou at that time.

The copy is displayed in front of an old bookshelf, which highlights the vintage and heritage aspect of the magazine. No mention of tears or missing parts is visible on the front, but some signs of wear (slight creases, handling marks) are observable on the cover, consistent with the age of the magazine.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The cover shows moderate signs of wear visible in the photo (small marks, blunted corners, discreet handling traces). No major missing parts or apparent tears on the front.
