 THE FIRST THREE
ISSUES OF
HEAVY METAL
ARE COLLECTOR'S
ITEMS!

^^■enty-one pgs of this issue belong to Moebius, including cover.

Should keep Moebius freaks busy, and we’ll get some quiet around
here. The complete adventures of “Arzakto be published in book
form in America in September, along with another Moebius anthology
and six assorted strangenesses, will be Heavy Metal’s way of saying
thank you, give us more money, thank you again.

Dionnet and Farkas, two of the original humanoids who cause Metal
Hurlant to happen in France, recently materialized here, gave HM
their blessing, bought jeans, Keds, a gross of Jeny Lewis glossies a car¬
ton of Luckies (“Bogie!”), and took off in an eerily silent Concorde
Refused, under torture (forced to audit French Berlitz lessons in
Queens), to reveal details about Moebius. Clearly tales of messenger
pterodactyl arriving with manuscript, waiting impatiently for tip, flying
off into the night, un-totally true.

 For the first time in this
country, a fantasy maga¬
zine combining all the
chilling, .pulsating ele¬
ments of your favorite
horror stories and the
best and sexiest sci-fi
movies you’ve ever
seen! The most brilliant
artists and writers of
fantasy in Europe and
America have made
Metal Hurlant France's
most talked about new
magazine, and now the
publishers of the
National Lampoon bring
Heavy Metal to North
America, in English,
with added fiction and
art. Heavy Metal is sav¬
age, sensuous, incred¬
ible. Nothing like it has
ever been produced
in this country. For adults
only.
