This week I'm offering a variety of collectibles, including trading cards as well as comics. In the mid-Seventies, comic art coming out of Europe was rapidly gaining a strong reputation for quality, imagination, and adult content. Names such as Moebius and Druillet were being referenced by advanced comics fans. The publishers of National Lampoon magazine saw an opportunity and reached an agreement with the publishers of France's top adult comics magazine, to publish an English Language version. Thus was born Heavy Metal, which ran, with only a few interruptions, from April 1977 until fairly recently. Publishing a mix of European and American artists, it definitely pushed the envelope of what could or could not be shown in comics form. NOTE: THE MATERIAL IN THIS MAGAZINE IS UNDENIABLY ADULT IN NATURE, WITH EXTENSIVE NUDITY AND CONSIDERABLE VIOLENCE. Copies of this magazine, especially the early issues, remain a must for any serious comics collector. Here I have Heavy Metal dated September 1977! It features "Den" by Richard Corben, as well as contributions from Druillet, Moebius and others, as well as a short story by Roger Zelazny. It's in near mint condition overall, with only a slight vertical bend (not a crease) - see scans for condition. This would be a terrific addition to any collection! Shipping will be combined for multiple purchases.
