AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is an original copy of the famous weekly "Tintin", French edition, number 19 from 1985. The cover features a colorful visual illustrating characters and armored horses from the comic book universe, with the main title "Ian Kaledine – La Fée Perle". The detailed and dynamic graphic style is typical of Franco-Belgian comics of the 1980s.

The cover layout is characterized by a bright blue background, the easily recognizable Tintin logo in white letters at the top, accompanied by the subtitle "The weekly for super-young people from 7 to 77". In the upper right, a speech bubble announces the return of Hugo in "Le Clan des Cornélius", with an illustration of a full-body character. Price mentions for several countries (Belgium, France, Spain, Luxembourg, Switzerland) are printed in the upper left, confirming its European distribution.

The issue number and year ("No 19 – 40e année") are clearly visible in the upper right. The spine and binding are visible on the left, showing moderate signs of use but no apparent tears. The colors of the cover remain vibrant and contrasting, the details of the armor and horses are sharp, and no major missing parts are visible on the displayed side.

The bottom of the cover displays the publication date "7-5-85" (May 7, 1985), which precisely dates this copy. The corners show slight traces of handling, typical of a vintage magazine, but no major creases are visible on the front face.

This issue stands out by highlighting the "Ian Kaledine" series, a graphic adventure appreciated for its medieval-fantasy universe and meticulous drawings. The overall presentation evokes a vintage magazine, emblematic of European youth press from the 80s.
