Description

This illustrated magazine shown in the photo is an original issue of the famous weekly "Tintin", intended for young people aged 7 to 77. The cover features typical 1980s graphics, with the "Tintin" logo in bright red on a yellow background, immediately recognizable. In the top right, a bubble indicates "Louis Valmont (Le Saiselier des Ardennais)", as well as the famous Tintin vignette in the top left. The mention "L'HEBDOMADAIRE DES SUPER-JEUNES DE 7 À 77 ANS" (THE WEEKLY FOR SUPER-YOUTHS AGED 7 TO 77) appears under the main title.

The issue number visible on this edition is n° 571. The cover highlights the character of Adler, with the mention "ADLER le repaire du Katana" (ADLER the lair of the Katana), and announces a cinema feature on "Crocodile Dundee". Another insert indicates a Cubitus poster inside (poster not visible in the photo, only the announcement on the cover indicates it). The cover scene, signed Stern 86, features characters in adventure attire, with a maritime atmosphere, armed and in action, in a graphic style very representative of 1980s Franco-Belgian comics.

The dominant colors are red, yellow and light blue, with strong contrasts in the illustrations. The lettering on the cover is clear and legible, with different colored inserts (pink, yellow, purple) to draw attention to the main sections. Also visible is the reference printed at the bottom left: "M237-596-8FF".

The magazine is displayed upright, leaning against a wooden piece of furniture, with a plant visible on the right. The spine and back are not visible; only the front cover is shown. The overall condition of the cover shows a slight crease or wear mark at the top, typical of used magazines, but the image remains clear and the colors well preserved.

This issue of Tintin, with its "vintage" and "collector" mentions, is particularly sought after by Franco-Belgian comic book enthusiasts and fans of 1980s youth press. The presence of a cinema feature on "Crocodile Dundee" and a Cubitus poster enhances the interest of this specific edition.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The cover shows some visible signs of wear at the top, but the overall condition remains good for a magazine of this era.

Did you know? "Tintin" magazine was launched in 1946 in Belgium, before a French edition appeared in 1948. It contributed to the fame of many major European comic series and authors, including Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs, and later authors like Sterne (Adler). Each issue offered comic strips, reports, and cinema or game sections, targeting a wide audience of young readers.
