The Age of Darkness

From 1998 onward, Heavy Metal published The Age of Darkness, a single-issue comic that stands as a stark, standalone entry in the publisher's adult-oriented science-fantasy catalog. Associated with the magazine's tradition of boundary-pushing, experimental storytelling, this issue is a concise, self-contained vision of a dark, speculative future. Its brevity and focus make it a distinctive artifact within Heavy Metal's sprawling anthology history.
