The cover features the character Bernard Prince, illustrated in a dynamic winter scene, revolver in hand, in the middle of a snowstorm. The illustration occupies most of the front page, surmounted by the title \"BERNARD PRINCE\" in red capital letters, followed by \"Qu'est-il arrivé à bord de la Mary-Novembre ?\" in light blue. The graphics and color palette, dominated by blue, white, and red, evoke the style of youth magazines from the second half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper right, the word \"nouveau\" (new) is placed in black above the Tintin logo, indicating an evolution or change in the editorial formula during this period. Below the main title, the phrase \"L’hebdomadaire des jeunes de 7 à 77 ans\" (The weekly for young people from 7 to 77) is clearly legible, a trademark of the magazine. The spine and left edge show slight wear typical of old publications, with no major tears visible on the displayed side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower-left corner bears the inscription \"n° 101 France 3,50 F,\" identifying this specific issue. The photographic background, consisting of shelves of old books, highlights the vintage nature of the object. The cover paper shows some signs of use, including small marks or scuffs visible in glancing light, without altering the integrity of the image or legible text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic composition, the apparent thickness of the magazine, and the typography are typical of Tintin editions from the 1970s-1980s. No major structural defects are visible on the shown side, making it an interesting copy for any amateur of old illustrated press or Franco-Belgian comic strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover features an episode of \"Bernard Prince,\" a flagship series of the magazine, which reinforces the historical and editorial interest of this issue. All visible inscriptions and the original design are faithfully reproduced in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
