Heavy Metal #1 (Magazine, April 1977, HM Communications) Very Good Condition
The legendary first issue that ignited America’s premier adult science-fantasy comics magazine. Heavy Metal #1 delivers an unforgettable blend of surrealism, dark fantasy, psychedelic sci-fi, and avant-garde illustration, introducing U.S. readers to the groundbreaking European style that reshaped comics for mature audiences. This inaugural issue features early American print work by giants such as Richard Corben, Moebius, Philippe Druillet, Vaughn Bodé, and other innovators whose striking visuals and experimental storytelling defined the magazine’s identity.
Inside, readers are pulled into sprawling space operas, dystopian dreamscapes, erotic fantasy sequences, and richly detailed cosmic worlds—each presented with lush, high-contrast artwork and the magazine’s trademark boldness. From short atmospheric pieces to sweeping serialized adventures, the issue stands as a foundation stone for the Heavy Metal legacy and a must-have for collectors of 1970s sci-fi and adult illustrated fantasy.
