The very colorful cover features a large humorous illustration signed by the cartoonist Dupa, depicting the character Cubitus and other Franco-Belgian comic strip figures, gathered around a blue vehicle with dialogue bubbles. The title \"Tintin\" is at the top of the cover, against a bright yellow background, with the inscription \"L’hebdomadaire des super-jeunes de 7 à 77 ans\" (The weekly for super-young people from 7 to 77) in red letters. The issue number visible at the top right is \"N°23 – 69e année\" (No. 23 - 69th year). One can also make out the phrase \"Crois-moi Cubitus ! Il n’a pas encore fini de nous en faire voir ce robot !\" (Believe me, Cubitus! This robot isn't done giving us trouble yet!) in a bubble, characteristic of the magazine's humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover design is typical of the 1980s, with bold colors (yellow, blue, green, red), a large full-page illustration, and characters in action. The drawn scene occupies almost the entire page, with several secondary characters, a white dog (Cubitus), an elderly man, a bulky vehicle, and various elements of the urban landscape (tree, fence, house in the background). The overall impression is that of a vintage magazine, emblematic of Franco-Belgian youth comic press of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the bottom left, a label mentions \"M2237 – 508 – 8FF\", probably a distribution code or price of the time. The corners of the magazine appear slightly curved, indicating handling or stacking, but the cover remains generally legible and colorful. The back and reverse are not visible in the photo. The item is placed in front of a bookshelf of old books, highlighting the retro and collector's nature of this magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscriptions at the top left specify the selling prices for different French-speaking countries, which helps to place this issue within the international youth press circuit of the time. The overall condition of the visible side shows good preservation, with no tears or apparent missing parts on the cover, despite slight traces of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage Tintin magazine, with Cubitus featured on the cover, represents an authentic medium of Franco-Belgian comic strips and a testament to the popular culture of the 80s. It is for those looking for an old issue to enrich their comic book collection or to relive the spirit of youth publications from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
