50 years after the debut of Metal Hurlant in France, the iconic and genre-defining publication is returning to English, with a bigger and bolder iteration 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.
In 1974, fellow, rebellious bande dessinée creators Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Philippe Druillet, and Mœbius wanted to push the boundaries of the comics medium to tell mature, cerebral, and often titillating stories that embraced a punk attitude. Metal Hurlant was their brainchild, a cutting edge comics anthology published under their newly founded publishing house Les Humanoïdes Associés (Humanoids).
