AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This magazine, visible in the image, is a copy of "Super Tintin", a special edition titled "Absurde". The cover features a light blue background with a humorous comic strip style illustration, depicting several characters climbing a mountain, typical of the satirical tone of the magazine. The dominant colours are blue, bright pink (for the "tintin" title), yellow and orange, with meticulous graphic details.

In the upper right, an orange vignette announces "Complete stories", characteristic of the magazine's special editions. Several comic series titles are listed on the left: "le p'tit prof, robin dubois, les casseurs, jugurtha, thorgal, clifton, cubitus, martin milan, olivier rameau". The lettering "Super tintin" is clearly legible at the top of the cover, with the mention "Absurde" in stylized yellow, emphasizing the offbeat tone of this issue.

The lower left corner indicates the quarterly edition of the weekly, as well as pricing and distribution information for various countries (France, Switzerland, Spain, Canada). The date "1983" appears in the illustrator's signature (Bara '83), placing this magazine in the 80s, an emblematic period for Franco-Belgian comics.

The magazine features stapled binding visible on the left edge and a matte appearance on the cover, typical of publications from that era. No major flaws are visible on the front face, apart from a slight curve at the upper right corner and some minor signs of wear on the cover, common for a vintage magazine.

The layout highlights both the emblematic heroes and the absurd nature of this edition, illustrating the dynamic graphic style and visual humour characteristic of the Super Tintin magazine. The stylized characters and mountain elements are drawn with precision and finesse, true to classic comic book aesthetics.

Condition This magazine is second-hand and sold as is. Some signs of wear and a slight fold on the cover are visible, with no apparent tears on the shown side.
