Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is an original copy of the famous weekly "Tintin," published in 1965, recognizable by its typical graphic layout of the era and its blue logo on a white background. The cover features the comic strip "Buddy Longway" with an illustration of three Native American characters and a trapper, accompanied by the title "La robe noire" (The Black Robe) at the bottom of the page. The dominant colors are beige, blue, red, and black, with a slightly patinated effect that evokes the impression of the period.

In the upper left corner, the Tintin logo with the iconic character's face appears in a white medallion. The header mentions "L’HEBDOMADAIRE DES SUPER-JEUNES DE 7 À 77 ANS" (The Weekly for Super-Youths from 7 to 77), a characteristic phrase of the magazine. In the upper right corner, a speech bubble announces "NOR dans la danse du cacotin," and the mention "No 6" with the date "4 févr. 1965" (Feb. 4, 1965) is legible, confirming the dating of this copy. The prices for several European countries are printed in small font on the upper edge.

The cover features a signed illustration in a realistic style, typical of Tintin's graphic work from the 1960s. The main subject, Buddy Longway, is an iconic character in Franco-Belgian comics, highlighted here in an adventure titled "La robe noire." The graphics, layout, and chromatic palette are characteristic of comic magazines from this decade.

The magazine is photographed standing, placed on a wooden shelf, in front of a background of old books. The corners of the magazine reveal a slight curvature and some signs of wear, particularly in the lower right, which is common for a magazine of this age. The edges and cover show a homogeneous patina, with no major tears visible on the front. The original print and paper quality appear well preserved, with colors still vibrant despite their age.

Visible inscriptions also include a reference in the lower left: "M2237 – 491 – 8FF," typical of printing or distribution mentions of the era. No major defects are observable on the visible side, apart from wear and tear related to its age.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible signs of wear on the cover (slightly dog-eared corners, signs of use patina). The colors remain well preserved on the visible side. See photo for more details.

Did you know? Buddy Longway is a series created by Swiss author Derib in 1972 for Tintin magazine. It is distinguished by its realistic and human approach to the Western genre, and its publication in Tintin magazine marked a turning point in Franco-Belgian comics, by addressing more adult and nuanced themes, which was rare at the time for this type of medium.
