If you look at the ad copy for the subscription, you can see that Moebius is first on the list of artists that have been introduced by Heavy Metal. It’s intriguing that he went from being a founding member of the original Metal Hurlant magazine to being a marketing tool.

Also, the art on that ad at the top of the page reminds me of every industrial band from the 90s. If one skeleton is cool, three must be really cool, right?
