Tung metall #5/1986
In "Formeln," Vandraren Joel is shot down by a passing plane, left for dead until the solitary figure Solo finds and tends to him. Together, they retreat to an abandoned station, building a quiet, simple life in isolation—until the distant approach of military forces begins to threaten their fragile peace. Written and illustrated by Michel Crespin, with a striking cover by Moebius, this 1986 Epix issue blends intimate storytelling with an undercurrent of looming tension.
Joel, wounded and alone, is found by Solo, a woman tending to her quiet life in a forgotten station. Together, they build a fragile peace amid the ruins, finding warmth in each other’s company. But as the distant rumble of military movement draws near, their fragile happiness hangs in the balance.
In "Ards förräderi," a young man stumbles upon a way to another world called Aldrigstans, where he transforms into a hairless, naked, and astonishingly gifted adventurer. Confused by his sudden change and haunted only by the memory of his true name’s abbreviation—DEN—he adopts the name "Den" as he ventures into the unknown.
In a stark desert landscape, a lone traveler drives toward a towering structure, drawn by mystery. Inside, he discovers a sealed control room where a screen displays Arzak and his bird—motionless, their fate unknown.
