One of the more obvious signs that John Workman doesn’t work for Heavy Metal anymore is the design of the ads. This one is just sad.

Also, it’s interesting to note that the cost of a subscription has dropped again. And you can buy a two or three year subscription – which is terribly amusing because the magazine switched from monthly to quarterly in 1986 – a little over a year in the future.
