AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This illustrated magazine is an issue of the famous weekly "Tintin", French edition, clearly identified as number 110. The cover, characteristic of the 70s in its graphics and layout, displays a large title "nouveau tintin" in red letters, accompanied at the top left by the banner "une fantastique série inédite" (a fantastic new series). The subtitle "L’hebdomadaire des jeunes de 7 à 77 ans" (The weekly for young people aged 7 to 77) evokes the publication's intergenerational target audience.

The cover highlights the series "Les Démons du Temps Immobile" (The Demons of Still Time), illustrated by a science fiction scene typical of the period: three characters stand out against a backdrop of stylized rocks, including a massive humanoid creature and two human characters in colorful costumes, one brandishing a futuristic weapon. The signature "Ribera" is visible at the bottom right, confirming the illustrator of this cover.

The dominant colors are the bright red of the logo, shades of green, blue, purple, and beige on the characters, against a background of gray and black rocks. The issue number, the price in France (3.50 F) and Switzerland (2.50 F) are printed at the top, details that confirm the dating of the object to the 1970s.

The yellow spine, visible on the left side, is typical of soft bindings of the era. The cover appears to be printed paper, with a matte finish, typical of vintage magazines. No content from the back or inside is visible in the photo.

Condition

Used magazine, showing slight signs of wear visible on the edges and corners of the cover. The surface appears generally flat, with no apparent tears on the visible side. The overall condition corresponds to a carefully handled vintage copy, but with the expected traces of use for a 1970s magazine.

Did you know? Tintin magazine, launched in 1946, contributed to the popularization of many major series and authors of Franco-Belgian comics. In the 1970s, the magazine regularly introduced new and innovative series, some of which, like "Les Démons du Temps Immobile," became cult classics for fans of graphic science fiction.
