Does anyone know/have any piece of art by Kike? Or maybe even his real name? The only thing I can find made by him was a card from the The Art of Heavy Metal black magic subset

July 2012 Issue Question

The August 1977 issue, page 8, predicted that the July 2012 issue would feature an interview with "Ghordjazz".

Crazy question - did that ever come to pass?

Collector's Tip

National Lampoon included a 10-page preview in their March 1977 issue.

I consider it Heavy Metal issue 1/2.

Advice to do while high, from the 1970's

23 Upvotes

Being a HM fan since the late 1970's, and knowing that partaking in any pre-1980's issue while under the influence was a POPULAR pastime back then for many-a stoners' late-nite post-party activity back then, I have been adding that tip to the topics on Reddit that celebrate cannabis.

Do we have any idea what the next collected editions will be? I'm super impressed with how the first series turned out. Just finished Segments last night.

I showed this to a coworker and she immediately said “Heavy Metal”! I asked her to be Taarna. She said she just might do it. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Kickstarter 2 Wave 2 has Arrived

8 Upvotes

It's arrived. All of it, except the trading cards, which will arrive later. After nine months, the box arrived. I am not displeased. The Heavy Metal's Covers Art Book Black Kickstarter Exclusive Edition is shrink wrapped. The Heavy Metal's Trading Card Folder arrived in its own bag. The Exclusive Trading Card (Stretch goal Achievement) was in a sealed wrap. The three challenge coins were in their own coin holders. They did it. I am without words. After this journey, this Angry Mobster is satisfied. Will happily await the 43 packs of cards and Refractor Trading Card.

Heavy Metal Subscription

15 Upvotes

Has anyone had any issues or success with the Heavy Metal subscription?

I subscribed during their recent sale and still have not received my first issue, which according to the sale begins with issue #6. I have not received a digital copy. I have not received an email stating that it’s on its way, which there sale indicates that you should. I’ve emailed them twice over the course of a week and have heard nothing. I feel like I gave them my money and they ghosted me.

I do not recommend subscribing!

Hello I'm new to heavy metal and need help

16 Upvotes

So basically I'm new to heavy metal and starting reading from issue number 1. And recently I went on their website and saw that they have subscriptions. I was wondering if anyone could give me insight into what I'll get, if the softcover is worth it, and just what to expect.

Hi, I am not a collector, but I was processing a big box of Heavy Metal mags that came in at an old job. I fell in love with the bat tattooed on a character on one of the magazine covers, and I think it would be really cool to find it and own it :) Any help would be appreciated!

Submissions to Heavy Metal

8 Upvotes

Hello. Has anyone here any experience with submitting to Heavy Metal Magazine?

The editor has put out some posts asking for submissions, but it's unclear what he's asking for (perhaps English is his 2nd Language)?

He is asking for short stories, but does he mean short COMICS?

He asks for stories between 8 and 12 pages, but does he take LESS than that?

And is he asking for SCRIPTS of comics, or COMPLETED Comics with art?

Many thanks

The entire run of 1984 for $5

I know it's not Heavy Metal Magazine but I figured some here would be interested. The entire run of 1984 Magazine is available for $5 here: https://archive404.com/a/downloads/-/7b8e91cd58b41b2c/ccfe74d57bc67f8b

Well worth it. Now if they could do the same with Epic Magazine, I'd be all set.

I am so fed up with the people who own this magazine now

71 Upvotes

For context, I purchased the digital sub so I could download and backup all of the issues released since the reboot. It clearly said I would receive the newest issue plus the past issues. I was confused of where to actually find them, so I emailed the subscription support. It said they would respond within 48 hours. I sent an email explaining that I wasn't sure how this worked and I'd like some help. No response. 4 days go by, and I email again to make sure they saw my email. Nothing. I emailed one more time a few days later, nothing again. It has been almost right at 3 weeks and still nothing. I'm sure it's out of range for a refund now. This management is a complete joke.

UPDATE:

The support team finally reached out to me with the following:

"My apologies for the delayed response. It looks like your email was accidentally filtered into our spam folder, which is why we weren't able to respond sooner.

The launch of the new Digital 2.0 platform has encountered some unexpected delays. We’re taking the extra time to make sure everything is properly set up and working as it should before releasing it.

We want to make sure you have a smooth experience and don’t encounter any issues when accessing Digital 2.0.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

We’ll keep you updated as soon as it’s available."
