Heavy Metal Magazine {273,275-280} 9 Issue Lot! Adult Fantasy {LOT-2}

About this deal

Heavy Metal is an American science fantasy comics magazine that has been published since 1977, known for its blend of dark fantasy, science fiction, erotica, and steampunk comics. Unlike traditional American comics of its era, which were bound by the restrictive Comics Code Authority, the magazine-format Heavy Metal featured explicit nudity, sexual situations, and graphic violence. It is strictly for adult readers. This lot comprises 9 issues: numbers 273, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, and 280, all in Very Good condition. Issues from around this period include content tied to Barry Geller and Jack Kirby's Lord of Light artwork, which is notable as the pieces were used by the CIA for Operation Argo, which helped free American embassy workers during the Iranian coup of 1979. As an adult illustrated fantasy magazine, Heavy Metal serves as a showcase for some of the most interesting artists and storytellers working across the mainstream and various subgenres of fantasy and sci-fi. An ideal purchase for collectors or fans of the title.
