Posters

This copy clearly contains poster material.

The magazine advertises 10 posters including 2 giant posters, and several are visibly present in the supplied photographs.

One large fold-out poster prominently features Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, printed in full colour against the recognisable blue-sky-and-cloud background.

Another large-format poster/spread shows a male celebrity/model posed in a light-coloured jacket against a dark background.

A further fold-out image shows two men on a beach in bright patterned shirts and shorts, presented as a large poster-style feature.

The contents page also specifically lists posters of Christian Slater, Ash, EastEnders, Dieter Brummer, Matthew Marsden and Jon Bon Jovi.

Because the magazine was originally sold with multiple poster features, buyers should use the supplied photographs to confirm exactly which poster sections are still present and their condition.
