AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The magazine shown in the photo is a copy of the famous comic book periodical "Super Tintin," a special edition marked "INSOLITE" (UNUSUAL) on the cover. This is issue number 51 bis, dated 1986, as indicated by the "Franz 86" signature on the cover illustration. The item features a soft cover, colorfully illustrated, dominated by a detailed scene combining a knight in armor and a portrait in the background, typical of the realistic style of 1980s Franco-Belgian comics.

The front page displays the title "Super Tintin" in red and white on a blue background, with the mention "84 pages of complete stories" in the upper right corner. The names of flagship series from that era are listed: Jugurtha, Cubitus, Mr. Edouard, Neige, Olivier Rameau, Modeste et Pompon. The richly illustrated cover blends medieval elements with a mysterious atmosphere, highlighting the "unusual" nature of this collector's issue.

The magazine stands out for its meticulous layout and detailed graphics, with a price and distribution country cartouche visible at the bottom of the cover (Belgium, France, Switzerland, Spain, Canada, Luxembourg). The overall presentation is typical of youth and adventure comic book publications from the second half of the 1980s.

The spine and interior pages are not visible in the photo; only the front cover is presented. No major defects are apparent on the front, apart from slight signs of wear consistent with a used item from this period.

The colors remain vibrant, and the title and inscriptions are perfectly legible. The spine appears straight, with no visible deformation from this view. The issue number and publishing information are present at the bottom left of the cover.

Condition
