Quote - I did say "There is or wasa European version of Heavy Metal.
I think before the U.S.Heavy Metal."

I'm just talking about realistic style comics.not rated G.
Not talking about Archie or Jughead style comics.

Let me try this again.
Before the web.
In the U.S.A. If you lived in a small town.
about the only comics they had was Marvel ,DC ,Conan. Maybe a Heavy Metal ,maybe.
So if you wanted to learn about other Artist in the world.
That weren't rated G.
About all there was ,was Heavy Metal.
HM also had 3rd person comics in the back you could order.

Heavy Metal was the only portal I had to the out side world when I was a kid.
When I wasn't in Atlanta

The Artist that will fight for decades to conquer their media.
Even if you never know their name ,your know their Art.
