Vintage Tintin Magazine Alain Chevallier Forcing Snow Old Edition

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This illustrated magazine is an old copy of the "Nouveau Tintin" periodical, identifiable by its distinctive 70s-80s graphic cover. The front page features the "Alain Chevallier" series, with a dynamic scene of a car race on a snowy road. The main title "tintin" is visible in large red letters on a white background, the mention "L'hebdomadaire des jeunes de 7 à 77 ans" (The weekly for young people aged 7 to 77) in blue, and the hero's name in vivid magenta. The cover illustration, typical of Franco-Belgian comics, shows a rally sports car from behind, bearing the inscriptions "Valvoline", "TEAC", "Fulgur" and a license plate "1966 WW 75".

The speech bubbles ("I'm going for it!!!", "Alain... Watch out!", "But... Stop! Are you crazy?!?") emphasize the dynamic and adventurous atmosphere characteristic of the series. The graphic style, with its vivid color contrasts and strong black outlines, is typical of youth weeklies from that period. The magazine is displayed upright on a wooden desk, in front of an old bookshelf, which highlights its magazine format and the quality of its illustrated cover.

The upper part also displays the "nouveau tintin" logo, confirming the publication period after the title was re-designed in the 1970s. On the left edge, the price "5.95 F" for France is visible, along with a reference "Ulysse 2501" and the number "135".

Only one side of the cover is visible in the photo, with no indication of the back or interior. The apparent condition shows slight handling marks at the corners, but the cover remains flat and the colors vibrant. No major defects are visible on this side.

Condition

Did you know? Tintin magazine, founded in 1946 in Belgium, has undergone several graphic and editorial evolutions.
