Well that's certainly interesting. Heavy Metal is a comic, that for some unexplained reason, I've almost entirely circumvented in my comic reading. Maybe now is the time for this to change?

I've bought Heavy Metal a few times but never really got on with it.

It mostly seems to be full of incomprehensible ultra-violent fantasy/science fiction full of large breasted naked women painted in a Bisley-esque style.

It's also always full of adverts for porno comics for weirdos who don't like real women so reading it in public makes you feel like a seedy pervert.

The short lived Metal Hurlant anthology was far superior but didn't last.

The only HM volumes I own contain a Crepax boxing comic. Must get around to reading that, it's shelfed along side two copies of the Marvel STRIP anthology.

I've flipped through HM when I was a teenager, but even then I never bought one.

I just looked through the first year of HEAVY METAL [1977-78] recently, and if you like 2000 AD you will find similar imagery in this magazine-----but with more full-frontal nudity [male and female] than we see in the 'mainstream press' even today.

The stories are more deliberately 'artistic' than the lurid thrills of early 2000 AD, however there are definite gems in HEAVY METAL:   one multi-page, fully painted silent story about a guy in a desert discovering, and exploring, a statue-of-liberty- scaled giant nude woman, is just as visually  stunning---and equally memorable-----as anything I have read in the FUTURE SHOCKS files.

Approach HEAVY METAL with caution, I say: it lacks the eccentric British charm of Thargs' comic, but visually it well worth a look.

I look forward to his interview where he says he had the ideas for everything in the original Heavy Metal before they did.

They've stopped a lot of the more unpleasant ads and the current cyberpunk issue is a good 'un. And with Grant Morrison as their new editor thing s are looking good for HM.
