It’s a twofer. I wanted to share the original version of Heavy Metal, called “Metal Hurlant” in french, but the results came back in spanish. Better for me to learn spanish with anyway.

But as the readers of this community, you too can help enrich this place by finding stuff on Internet Archive and posting it here. Johnny enzyme needs a rest (and an apology from me for something I did to make him nonplussed somewhere else, and I figure deeds are better than words)

Edit : Link changed per Johnny’s suggestion.

      It’s quite a cultural touchstone in US works, they had game(s), an animated film and a south park parody episode.

    Thanks for sharing this, Skully! 🙂

    I’ve forgotten whatever it was that needed an apology, but apology accepted!

    Now… the sharing of this M.H. content is appreciated, although I’ll have to think about if we’re okay to link directly to more such material, in future. Specifically, I’m thinking of our host’s #8 rule here. I threw this over to GPT to help me get a clearer picture there, and so far it doesn’t look like an egregious violation, FWIW.

    Still, If more Archive.Org material is going to be shared in future, I’d say that for now, it’s probably best if a single illustration or page is uploaded, with an accompanying google link that just so happens to discover the full content on AO, like so:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=metal+hurlant+%231+magazine+on+archive.org

    Actually kinda useful, because it also turns up the French version as well.

      Hey. I wanted to reply to this for a while, but things are hectic.

      I updated the link to fit to your desired format.

      I know that we need more direct curation of the goldmine that is Internet archive, but didn’t take the steps necessary to not just lob a link over.

      Thanks for your continued efforts

        You’re certainly welcome, and thanks for updating the link. Interesting, I’m not allowed to edit posts, even as the creator of the sub.

        Yeah, I like that, as I happen to be heavily concentrated on other deep sources… constantly reading, reviewing, and sharing material here when something piques me. So material shared here from a different direction is a real bonus IMO.
