Schwermetall Special: Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated

A one-shot special from the German publisher Kunst der Comics (later Alpha), Schwermetall Special: Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated (2000) pays homage to the legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. Featuring a story by Gerd Benz and illustrated by Richard Corben, this issue blends the heavy-metal aesthetic of its Schwermetall lineage with the muscular, otherworldly fantasy that Frazetta defined. It's a concise, reverent tribute that connects the European comic scene to one of the medium's most iconic visual influences.
