About The Book

The Original Graphic Anthology that rocked the world of science fiction and comics is reborn—probing deep into the past, examining the present, and blazing into the future!

50 years after the debut of Metal Hurlant in France, the iconic and genre-defining publication is finally coming to the English language, and in bigger and bolder form than ever before: as a quarterly anthology published by Humanoids.

Each volume of Metal Hurlant will feature 272+ pages of a one-of-a-kind, otherworldly, literary experience, expertly curated from archival material from the original '70s and '80s run, along with top A-list and up-and-coming creators from around the globe.

“AS A KID IT REALLY WAS AN ELECTROSHOCK. I DON’T KNOW IF MY BRAIN MELTED OR EXPLODED... BUT I’M STILL HAUNTED BY THE POWER OF CREATIVITY THAT WAS IN THOSE BOXES.” —DENIS VILLENEUVE, speaking with NPR about his intro to sci-fi via boxes of Metal Hurlant

About The Authors

Brian Michael Bendis is an American comic book writer and artist. Starting with crime and noir comics, Bendis eventually moved to mainstream superhero work. While at Marvel Comics, Bendis worked with Bill Jemas and Mark Millar as the writer on the first book of the Ultimate Marvel imprint, Ultimate Spider-Man, which debuted in 2000. He relaunched the Avengers franchise with New Avengers in 2004, wrote the Marvel storylines "Avengers Disassembled" (2004-2005), "Secret War" (2004–2005), "House of M" (2005), "Secret Invasion" (2008), "Siege" (2010) and "Age of Ultron" (2013), and co-created the characters Riri Williams, Miles Morales, and Jessica Jones.

Bendis has won five Eisner Awards for both his creator-owned work and his work on various Marvel Comics books.

Nicole Claveloux is a celebrated avant-garde painter and comic book artist best known for her experimental and controversial contributions to the original run of Metal Hurlant (Heavy Metal) and Ah!Nana (the feminist sister magazine comprised of only female creators) and drew a popular comic strip called Grabote. Championed by Harlin Quist, she has also illustrated a number of successful children’s books, including an award-winning version of Alice in Wonderland.

Her work has been included in several critical exhibitions, including Nicole Claveloux et compagnie at Villeurbanne in 1995 and a retrospective at the Mediatheque Hermeland at Saint-Herblain.

James Stokoe (born September 4, 1985) is a Canadian comic book artist who is known for his work on such titles as Wonton Soup, Orc Stain and Godzilla: The Half-Century War.
Along with Corey Lewis, Brandon Graham and Marley Zarcone, he's a part of a studio/collective called "Yosh Comics".
James Stokoe is an artist with a style that is both full of detail and fantastical in nature. The expressiveness and grotesque work he displays perfectly looks like a weed trip. Stokoe’s brand certainly evokes taking it easy while worshipping the absurd monstrosities. By just one token he can be both hard to take seriously and brilliantly imaginative. He really doesn’t seem to want to be big, just showcase his style the way he wants it to.

Karla Pacheco is a former dj and comedy writer best known for her work on Spider-Woman.
