Lorna: The Ark

Alfonso Azpiri’s lush, sci-fi artwork defines this Heavy Metal series, which began in 2001 with a single issue. The story follows Lorna, a young woman navigating a futuristic world of adventure and danger, with the “Ark” of the title hinting at a larger, mysterious vessel or sanctuary. Though brief, the series is a striking showcase of Azpiri’s signature style—a blend of fantasy, eroticism, and cosmic wonder—making it a memorable, if fleeting, entry in the Heavy Metal canon.
