Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal is the premiere storyteller of cutting edge science fiction, fantasy and horror. Heavy Metal has continuously published its magazine since its first issue in 1977. Launched at a time when traditional comic book publishers were bound to strict censorships by the Comics Code Authority, established in 1954. Like MAD Magazine before them, Heavy Metal began as a magazine to circumvent such censorship. Today, with 40 years and the 300th issue of the magazine hitting shelves last summer, Heavy Metal continues its tradition in bringing cutting-edge and best-in-class storytelling to audiences world-wide.
