The cover highlights the comic \"HANS\" subtitled \"The Mutants of Xanaia\", with a science fiction illustration: three characters in brown space suits, in front of a mutant face occupying most of the visual, on a yellow background. The overall look clearly evokes the Franco-Belgian comic book aesthetic of the late 1970s to early 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper left, prices for different European countries are shown, typical of international editions of the time. The upper right corner displays a humorous bubble with Snowy, a graphic signature of Tintin editions. In the lower left, a printed reference \"M2237 – 509 – 8FF\" is visible, as well as a number \"11845\" in the lower right. The paper has a slightly yellowed tint, characteristic of old magazines, and some signs of wear or small stains on the bottom of the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typography of the main title and the central illustration are in a science fiction style, with a stippled effect and marked black lines. The cover is flexible, typical of magazines, with a stapled spine (not visible but inferred from the shape), with no apparent rigid edge. The magazine is photographed resting on an old surface, which enhances its retro appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main colors are yellow, blue, pink, and brown, with strong contrasts characteristic of comics from this period. No interior content is visible in the photo; only the front cover is described here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is. The cover shows some signs of age: slightly dog-eared corners, handling marks, small stains visible on the lower part.
