Vintage Tintin magazine #125 comic strip humor collector's item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description The magazine shown in the photo is an old copy of "Nouveau Tintin," an illustrated weekly for young people. The cover features a comic book character falling over a railing, with a humorous speech bubble saying, "Go to page 10 to see if I'm there!" The title "Tintin" appears in large red letters on a black background, accompanied by the word "Nouveau" in white and yellow, and the subtitle "L'hebdomadaire des jeunes de 7 à 77 ans" (The weekly for young people aged 7 to 77) in yellow letters. The cover scene is composed of bright colors and sharp lines typical of Franco-Belgian comics from the 1970s-1980s.

The issue number, visible at the bottom left of the cover, is No. 125, with prices indicated for France and Switzerland. This detail confirms it is a French edition. The format is that of a softcover, square-bound magazine, with a layout characteristic of youth publications from that period. The main character, dressed in a red jacket, blue trousers, and brown shoes, occupies most of the cover, against a backdrop of a stylized railing and stairs.

The "Tintin" logo and typography are faithfully reproduced in the original aesthetic of the publication. The cover is printed in four colors, and the paper has a slightly yellowed appearance, typical of the aging of vintage magazines. Several details of the scene – colored stars, a shamrock, barriers – enrich the graphic composition.

The magazine is photographed standing, placed on a wooden table, in front of an old bookcase, which highlights its retro character and its interest for lovers of classic comic books. No other accessories or interior content elements are visible in this image.

The spine and top edge show some signs of wear, including slight warping and the beginning of a crease, common elements for this type of old publication. The colors of the cover remain well preserved, and the visual remains clear and legible.

Condition This magazine is a used item and is sold as is. Moderate signs of wear on the cover (creases, slightly marked corners). General appearance consistent with a period copy, with no visible restoration on the displayed side.

Did you know? The "Tintin" magazine was launched in 1946 in Belgium before a distinct French edition appeared in 1948. It helped introduce many major Franco-Belgian comic artists, including Hergé, but also Greg, Tibet, and many others, and served as a creative laboratory for numerous iconic characters of the 9th art.
