Heavy Metal Magazine 2006 7 Issue Lot! Adult Fantasy {Near Full Run} + Specials

About this deal

Heavy Metal is a long-running American adult illustrated fantasy magazine that began in the US in April 1977 as a glossy, full-colour monthly, initially featuring translations of graphic stories from the French publication Metal Hurlant, with work by artists such as Moebius, Enki Bilal, and Milo Manara. The magazine is noted for its high-quality artwork, and has featured work by international fine artists such as H. R. Giger on its covers. It blends science fiction, fantasy, horror, and adult-oriented content in comic strip and illustrated story form, aimed squarely at mature readers. By 2006, the magazine was publishing bi-monthly regular issues alongside themed special editions, making a near-complete year's run a sought-after set for collectors. Special editions during this period were published four times a year by Heavy Metal magazine. This seven-issue lot covering the 2006 run is a solid buy for fans of illustrated adult fiction, collectors filling gaps in their run, or anyone new to the magazine wanting a substantial introduction to its style and content. All issues are described as being in very good condition.
