Welcome to fred's HM mag fan blog. The intent is to post reviews, past and present, of Heavy Metal magazine issues and related items.
Opinions are my own, except when they're not.
Disclaimer: I'm just a fan of HM magazine, I'm trying to find something to like. Sometimes I need to try harder than other times. I'm not a big comics fan, I'm not very well read, and this is barely a hobby. However, thanks to the awesome power of the internet, I can post my little rantings. What fun.

Heavy Metal Cover Price History
R. M. Rhodes has a great little article on his heavymetalmagazine.wordpress.com about the history of Heavy Metal Magazine cover prices, which includes history of the tagline, which was "The Adult Illustrated Fantasy Magazine" for a good while, with some discussion of the issue format going from monthly to quarterly to bimonthly to whatever it is now, including just numbering issues rather than noting the month or period and year. For fun I lifted the chart from the article:
The article nicely gathers these bits of info and helped my understanding of these trivial but interesting details of the history of Heavy Metal Magazine. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
