Heavy Metal Magazine Covers. 1978

Drawing created by John Workman that was used in HM in the 1970s and early 1980s to promote sales of back issues of Heavy Metal and as visual "filler"... an illustrative bonus for the readers. (From Heavy Metal : 25 years of classic covers / compiled, designed and written by John Workman. — New York : Metal Mammoth, Inc., 2002)

Earlier: 1977

Finally! On the cover to the first issue of HM’s second year, the Heavy Metal cover girl premiered.

She’s nude! She’s on horseback! She grabs the attention of the casual reader! She sparks many arguments! But she will not go away.

Heavy Metal is an American science fiction and fantasy comics magazine, published beginning in 1977. The magazine is known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy/science fiction and erotica and steampunk comics.

Unlike the traditional American comic books of that time bound by the restrictive Comics Code Authority, Heavy Metal featured explicit content. The magazine started out as a licensed translation of the French science-fantasy magazine Métal hurlant, including work by Enki Bilal, Philippe Caza, Guido Crepax, Philippe Druillet, Jean-Claude Forest, Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Moebius), Chantal Montellier, and Milo Manara. The magazine later ran Stefano Tamburini and Tanino Liberatore's ultra-violent RanXerox. Heavy Metal gradually evolved into a publication featuring North American contributors like Richard Corben, Matt Howarth, Stephen R. Bissette, Alex Ebel, John Holmstrom, Paul Kirchner, Terrance Lindall, Gray Morrow, Walt Simonson, Dan Steffan, Jim Steranko, John Shirley, Arthur Suydam, Bernie Wrightson, and Olivia De Berardinis.

As cartoonist/publisher Kevin Eastman saw it, Heavy Metal published European art which had not been previously seen in the United States, as well as demonstrating an underground comix sensibility that nonetheless "wasn't as harsh or extreme as some of the underground comix – but . . . definitely intended for an older readership."

After running as a monthly for its first nine years, in the winter of 1986 Heavy Metal dropped to a quarterly schedule, continuing until March 1989, when it switched to a bi-monthly schedule. HM Communications published 136 issues in 16 volumes from April 1977 to March 1992.

Heavy Metal («Тяжёлый металл») — американский журнал для взрослой аудитории, публикующий комиксы и рассказы в жанрах фэнтези и научной фантастики. Начав выходить в апреле 1977 года, публиковал переведённые с французского языка работы художников Энки Билала, Жана Жиро (известного как Mœbius), Philippe Druillet, Milo Manara и Philippe Caza, опубликованные до этого в журнале Métal Hurlant, издававшийся с декабря 1974 года во Франции.
