The cover features a dynamic scene from the \"Vasco\" series, titled \"Les Sentinelles de la Nuit\" (The Sentinels of the Night). Three characters occupy the foreground: a dark-haired man in a red tunic, visibly seized and threatened, surrounded by two guards wearing ornate helmets, against a backdrop of stylized flames. The illustration features clean lines and bold colors, typical of Franco-Belgian comics from the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Tintin\" logo appears large at the top of the page in a strong pink hue, accompanied by the subtitle \"L’hebdomadaire des super-jeunes de 7 à 77 ans\" (The weekly for super-young people aged 7 to 77). In the upper right, a vignette shows a blond character in an adventurer's costume, as well as a speech bubble with a short handwritten text. Prices for Belgium, Canada, and Spain are printed in the upper left, indicating the magazine's international distribution at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe title of the main story, \"Vasco : Les Sentinelles de la Nuit\", is highlighted by blue and pink lettering, contrasting with the dark and tense cover scene. The publication number \"N°2\" and the mention \"40e année\" (40th year) are visible in the upper right, precisely dating this edition in the magazine's history. In the lower left, an printed reference reads: \"M2237 - 487 - 8FF\", and in the lower right, \"8-1-85\", indicating the publication date, January 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine features classic stapled binding and a slightly visible spine, typical of youth magazine formats from that period. No major defects are immediately apparent on the front: the cover appears well-stretched, with no significant creases or notable tears. Slight rubbing is visible on the edges, characteristic of a vintage magazine handled with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic style, colors, and layout are emblematic of illustrated magazines of the 1980s, with a distinct retro aesthetic and expressive characters. The entire cover is faithful to the spirit of the golden age of Franco-Belgian comics and the visual identity of Tintin magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
