AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This featured magazine is a vintage copy of the famous weekly "Tintin," renowned for its colorful cover and flexible format typical of Franco-Belgian youth press from the 1980s. The visible cover displays the iconic "tintin" logo in bright yellow on a blue background, accompanied by the slogan "L'hebdomadaire des super-jeunes de 7 à 77 ans" (The weekly for super-young people from 7 to 77), a motto that became legendary in the history of comics.

On the front, there's a dynamic illustration signed F. Parras (dated 1986), depicting characters from the "Brelan de Dames" series in an action scene, with the title "Brelan de Dames – La Malédiction" (Brelan de Dames – The Curse) highlighted in a blue and white box. Also visible are several attractive graphic elements: an announcement for a "Hugo" poster in the upper left, an insert indicating the presence of "Buddy Longway in La Robe Noire" (Buddy Longway in The Black Dress) in the upper right, and prices for different countries on the upper border.

The cover features vibrant colors: blue, yellow, white, beige, pink, and black dominate the composition, with precise details in the drawing and sharp outlines characteristic of the Franco-Belgian comic style. The magazine is photographed standing in front of a bookshelf, allowing its rectangular shape and flexible appearance, typical of magazines from that era, to be fully appreciated.

Among the distinctive elements, one can note the artist's signature at the bottom right of the cover, the presence of a vertical barcode at the bottom left, and the recognizable typography of the Tintin brand. The overall condition shows some slight signs of use on the edges (small folds, slightly rounded corners), with no visible tears on the shown side.

This issue is an old edition, sought after for its retro look and its interest to classic comic book enthusiasts, particularly thanks to its flagship series and 1980s graphic style.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible cover shows some minor signs of wear compatible with age: superficial folds, slightly blunted corners. No apparent tears on the photographed side.
