HM1111_P004-005_CONTENTS.indd 5 7/27/11 10:55 AM Dear Reader,

Heavy Metal Magazine, the Premier Adult Illustrated Fantasy Magazine, continues to explore fantastic and surrealistic worlds, past, present, and future. Illustrators from around the world take you to places you never dreamed existed.

First published in 1977, we will celebrate our 35th anniversary in 2012. As we approach this anniversary we are making some changes to the format of the magazine publishing schedule.

Effective immediately Heavy Metal magazine will now be published six times per year in January, March, May, July, September and November. Most issues will continue to feature one serialized graphic novel, several short stories, an artist gallery and artist studio sections, a dossier and editorial pages.

We are no longer publishing the “Theme” magazines (aka “B” subscription) which previously appeared in spring, summer and fall each year. If you have a subscription to these theme issues don't worry. You will still receive the same number of fantastic magazines you have already paid for.

For example — if you have a 1 year regular subscription (6 magazines) and a 1 year theme subscription (3 magazines), you will now receive 9 regular magazines. You will be credited for whatever number of issues you have bought — you won't lose any issues.

We are delighted to have unveiled our new ebook library recently but please be assured, we remain committed to publishing in print 6 exciting magazines each year.

Thank you for your ongoing support of Heavy Metal Magazine.

Fo r 35 years, heavy metal has brought you the finest in adult illustrated fantasy BE TO material from around the world. we have introduced you to the best: BSCR L moebius, liberatore, royo, olivia, druillet, corben, bilal, serpieri, and many others.

SPOTLIGHT: JOHN BUSCEMA THE LOST DRAWINGS

BY HORATIO WEISFELD

In the mid 1950s, Frank Frazetta and John Buscema, the two artists who would become America’s renowned illustrators of ancient barbarians and fi ghting men, were both drawing comic books. Frazetta, who never became part of the comics assembly line process, had begun to fuse his Brook- lyn bruiser sensibility to master drawing techniques and would soon move beyond comics to change all things science fi ction and fantasy forever. His long climax would be a bombardment of brain blasting pa- perback cover paintings that defi ned a new type of savage fantasy in which the artist often seemed to recreate himself as Tarzan, Conan and other timeless fi ghting heroes.
