Heavy Metal #[nn]

A hulking, grinning green creature charges forward sword raised high, surrounded by a chaotic mob of fantastical figures bathed in fiery reds and oranges — it's an immediately arresting image that sets a wildly energetic tone. Published by Gallimard's Bayou imprint in 2013, this French graphic album from Loïc Sécheresse delivers a visual feast of anarchic humor and bold, expressive cartooning. Fans of action-comedy fantasy with a decidedly irreverent edge will find plenty to love here.
