Based on the paucity of advertising in this issue, I found it unsurprising that Heavy Metal reached out to the Ad Council to get advertising. I did find it amusing that the ad was aimed at reducing high school dropout rates. I was surprised to find that this ad was not included in the PDF of this issue that was sold in the Humble Bundle in the Spring of 2021. Maybe they weren’t proud of the ad for some reason? Who can say?
