AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is an authentic copy of the famous weekly "Tintin," identifiable by its immediately recognizable cover with its distinctive blue logo at the top. It is an old edition, whose cover prominently features the title "Monsieur Edouard Dernier Rappel" in yellow letters on a black background, accompanied by a full-page humorous illustration. This illustration shows two cartoon characters in explorer outfits, standing in a cave in the typical graphic style of Franco-Belgian comics from the 1980s. A speech bubble and a "Grand concours Buddy" competition are also clearly visible on the cover.

The overall presentation of the magazine shows a vintage visual style, characteristic of publications from the late 20th century. The header specifies "L’hebdomadaire des super-jeunes de 7 à 77 ans" (The weekly for super-young people from 7 to 77), an emblematic mention of the magazine. Also noticeable, in the upper right, is an insert with a character in a blue uniform, a signature of the graphic codes of Tintin magazine.

The lower right corner of the cover displays the date "6-11-84," which identifies this edition as published on November 6, 1984. The magazine is photographed standing, at a slight angle, placed on a wooden surface, with an old bookshelf in the background, accentuating the retro aspect of the object.

The spine of the magazine shows slight wear from use, typical of a used copy that has spanned decades. The cover nevertheless presents well-preserved colors, without major tears or apparent inscriptions on the visible side. The drawing details, texts, and logos are clear and legible, appreciated elements for a magazine of this era.

The visible side does not show the interior or the back of the magazine. No supplement or detachable insert is visible on the cover. The photo does not allow for a precise description of the content, but the general condition seems correct for an old magazine, with slight signs of use on the binding.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Vibrant cover colors, moderate wear on the spine, no major snags visible on the front.
