Heavy Metal Magazine {266-272,283,293,291} 10 Issue Lot! Adult Fantasy {LOT-1}

About this deal

Heavy Metal is an American science fantasy comics magazine, first published in 1977, known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy, science fiction, erotica, and steampunk comics. Unlike traditional American comic books of the time, which were bound by the restrictive Comics Code Authority, the magazine-format Heavy Metal featured explicit nudity, sexual situations, and graphic violence. As an adult illustrated fantasy magazine, it provided a showcase for some of the most interesting artists and storytellers working across mainstream and various subgenres of fantasy and sci-fi. This lot comprises 10 issues in Very Good condition: numbers 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 283, 291, and 293. Heavy Metal's 300th issue, published in 2021, featured work by notable contributors including Tanino Liberatore, Mark Bode, and Kent Williams, among others , placing these issues in the run-up to that milestone. The lot is suited to fans of adult comics, collectors of cult periodicals, and anyone with an interest in science fiction and fantasy illustration. Issues in Very Good condition are increasingly sought after as physical copies of later print runs become harder to find.
