Heavy Metal: 25 Years of Classic Covers                  Hardcover w/ Dust Jacket
Compiled, Designed, & Written by: John Workman

Heavy Metal was an American science fiction and fantasy comics magazine, published between 1977 and 2023. The magazine was known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy/science fiction, 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.

If you a fan of pin-ups, science fiction, or fantasy art in general, you no doubt know the Heavy Metal name. Heavy Metal is a science fiction/fantasy comics magazine that is heavily influenced by both erotica and pin-up styled art. Many internationally renowned artists have graced the pages of this magazine through the years including H.R. Giger, Frank Frazetta, and Luis Royo. This book is a culmination of 25 years of Heavy Metal covers, basically 1977 to 2001.
