Empire Magazine August 1992 Batman Returns Tom Cruise Dustin Hoffman Casablanca SKU 1514

Original Empire Magazine – August 1992, a strong early-1990s cinema issue dominated by an extensive Batman Returns cover feature.

The front cover has a striking dark blue-and-black promotional image from Batman Returns, with the headline “Exclusive – On Location With The Bat, The Cat And The Penguin”. The dramatic masked close-up gives this issue particularly strong appeal for collectors of the film, early-1990s cinema memorabilia and vintage Empire magazines.

Other major cover features include Tom Cruise in connection with Far and Away, advertised as “Tom Cruise Goes West”, plus Dustin Hoffman in an Empire interview. The issue also celebrates 50 years of Casablanca with a “Play It Again!” retrospective feature.

Another prominently advertised feature is “The Ultimate Moviegoer’s Guide To New York”, giving the issue additional interest as a snapshot of movie culture and film-location tourism from 1992.

Pre-owned vintage condition.

The magazine shows visible age and handling wear consistent with a publication from 1992.

From the supplied photograph, condition includes:

• general surface rubbing and handling marks
• visible light creasing to the front cover
• some fine surface scratches/scuffs, particularly across the darker Batman Returns artwork
• edge wear around the outer perimeter
• corner wear/softening, especially around the lower corners
• some wear and slight irregularity along the spine edge
• light age-related toning/discolouration to the pale border areas
• minor marks and spotting consistent with age and storage
• slight waviness/curling from previous storage and handling

The cover artwork nevertheless remains bright and highly eye-catching, with the Empire masthead, Batman Returns artwork and principal cover headlines all clearly readable.

Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description and show the actual magazine being sold.
