Empire Magazine May 1992 Hook Robin Williams Steven Spielberg Oscars SKU 1514

Original Empire Magazine – May 1992, featuring a major Hook cover story and behind-the-scenes look at Steven Spielberg’s fantasy adventure.

The front cover prominently features Robin Williams, Steven Spielberg and Dustin Hoffman in imagery connected with Hook. Hoffman appears in full Captain Hook costume, with Spielberg positioned centrally and Williams alongside him. The issue promotes the feature as an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Spielberg’s film, making this a particularly attractive issue for collectors of Hook, Robin Williams, Steven Spielberg and early-1990s cinema memorabilia.

This is a classic early issue of Empire, dating from a period when the magazine was establishing itself as one of the major UK film publications.

MAGAZINE CONTENT & COVER HIGHLIGHTS

Prominent features visible on the cover include:

• Hook – exclusive behind-the-scenes feature
• Robin Williams
• Steven Spielberg
• Dustin Hoffman / Captain Hook
• The Hand That Rocks the Cradle – promoted as a “Psycho-Nanny” feature
• Go Global! – international cinema coverage featuring David Cronenberg and other filmmakers
• 8-page Backstage Oscars Special
• Academy Awards coverage including winners, backstage material and fashion
• Contemporary film and video reviews and ratings
• General movie news and early-1990s cinema coverage

The cover is particularly striking, with the three principal Hook-related figures set against a warm orange background and a large HOOK headline dominating the lower-right portion.

ORIGINAL EXTRAS / ITEMS

This listing is for the magazine itself only.

Any original loose gifts, supplements, promotional items, cards, inserts or other detachable extras that may originally have accompanied the magazine are not included unless clearly shown in the photographs.

The advertised 8-page Oscars Special appears to be magazine editorial content rather than a separately pictured loose supplement.

CONDITION

Pre-owned vintage condition.

The magazine presents well for an issue dating from 1992, but there is visible age and handling wear.

From the supplied photograph I can see:

• noticeable wear and rubbing around the spine
• small creases and compression around the bottom-left corner
• light edge wear around the outer cover
• slight corner softening
• minor surface marks and age-related handling wear
• some light discolouration/toning to the pale cover areas
• small marks visible around the masthead and upper cover
• minor waviness rather than the magazine being perfectly flat
• some wear along the bottom edge
• cover artwork and printed text remain strong and clearly readable
• no major front-cover tear is obvious in the photograph

Because this is a vintage magazine, please study the supplied photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
