Articles

A few articles I've come across the last few months, some older than others, interesting to me with their Heavy Metal Magazine connections.

Heavy Metal magazine plays a part in this guy's comics journey:

Nice article about Richard Corben, from shortly after his passing:

A pretty recent interview with Kevin Eastman, with a good deal about his time owning Heavy Metal Magazine.  I was impressed that he steered clear of an opportunity to trash Heavy Metal's current state, despite reading "and suddenly the Heavy Metal I had an ownership in doesn’t exist anymore" about how he was pushed aside.  (though this interview was before HM's even more recent accelerating collapse into itself):

A very long article about Jean Giraud/Gir/Moebius, which illustrates how, despite Moebius being one of the pillars of creation for Heavy Metal Magazine, he had vastly more work in his life than what appeared in Heavy Metal's pages:
