Ok I’m trying to find an old story from the early 2000

I don’t remember exactly, but the story goes like this: the protagonist is a male robot/cyborg looking for a fairy resting in a tube like thing, he’s I can’t quite remember if he’s missing some parts but they are cyborg like fairy’s I’m pretty sure she had golden wings and that’s as much as I recall. I know or I think I know, the issue that it came in had a woman in like a green fog and she’s in a black corset looking thing, on the cover, it’s always bugged me that I could never finish it and as time has gone by it gets more and more fragmented in my mind any one have a clue?

If I remember right there was also a story about humans being a virus as another one of the stories… and someone called Lorna had a story in that issue? I read this 24 years ago and it still on my mind, so it has to be good

Just spent almost $100 on random HM issues from the 90’s up through 2001. Have I made a horrible mistake?

Could have bought a great graded key issue of something from Marvel/DC slabbed in thick plastic that I would never be able to read… I think it’s a win 🤷‍♂️

Searching for Issue/Story

I have a vague recollection of a story from 25+ years ago involving a group of pain-controlled soldiers engaged in combat against an enemy that turns out to be robots.

Any help?

Looking for a certain issue.

I remember seeing an issue where a woman end up on a planet and these....alien goblins ravish her. I remember specifically one scene where one is eating her out and ejaculating. Could anyone help? Possibly even post a screenshot from the issue? It's been bothering me for a long time and I would like to read it.

Vintage Merch

I've seen some insanely cool heavy metal shirts online, but only like 5 of them and they were all $100+. Do any of you know where I could get my hands on one for a reasonable price? Maybe someone has one they want 30 bucks for?

Also I do enjoy the magazine, so if you know of best places to get older copies that would also be appreciated :)

Anyone try collecting original sources of Heavy Metal stories?

For instance the original publications of Moebius', Bilal's, or Serpieri's stories. Would love to see them. What were your sources?

Is there anything out there like Heavy Metal?

Other than the obvious examples like 2000 AD and Epic Illustrated.

I especially mean from the indie/online scene.

Druuna stories censored

I know that some of the 90s heavy metals had the Druuna stories censored by strategically placed dialogue bubbles and in one case I believe a whole scene cut out. Do the hardcover editions(also produced by H.M. and advertised in the mag) have the full uncensored versions? I can’t seem to find any info on this

Alexander the Great adaptation

Howdy Folks! Does anybody remember a series (I believe it was published circa 1984) that was a fantastic reinterpretation of the conquests of Alexander the Great? I must be mis-remembering because I thought it was by Moebius, but I can't find it. Thanks.

Australian sellers.

I'm looking for Australian sellers specifically 2010-2022.

I'm based in Aus so I'm aware I can get eBay and local retailers and I've looked online at what's available but it's slim. I'm trying to avoid international postage as it's expensive. Any recommendations for places I may have missed appreciated.

Heavy Metal #318!?

I'm looking for a comic in electronic form, there is no way to buy and download. I am ready for an exchange if someone has this issue and those released after it.

What ever happened to cover C of heavy metal #312 (by Sorayama)

I have been trying to find a copy of cover C of this issue since it released. I got cover A and B, but C was never available on any site or in any store, even Ebay. Does anyone know where to find a back copy or if it was ever released?

RANX?

4 years ago I pre-ordered from HM the complete collection of RANX.since then I have had a few emails explaining there had been delays with production BC of the pandemic and the last I heard it was to come out in August 22. I haven't heard anything since and nobody answers my emails when I try and find out what's going on. Does anybody know if the book is still happening? Or if I can get my money back? I can't get any response at all about anything lol

Order lost / no customer service

I ordered from them about 2 months ago, they took my money but nothing has happened yet, no shipping or emails or anything. I keep reaching out to the email in their website but no one is getting back to me. I am out of ideas.

Does anyone know what to do or how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Relatively new to Heavy Metal want to know best place to pick them up at

Hey y’all like the title says, watched the ‘81 film a lot when I was a kid and read a few issues in my teens but want to know where the best place to pick up more issues. Is the website any good or should I stick to ebay/crate digging. Thanks!
