One of the things that made Heavy Metal such a good showcase was that they offered a marketing platform alongside their ability to feature new and interesting works. In this issue, the ad for the work by the Dillons was on page one. Because it was different from the usual science fiction book club ads that usually ran there, it was a good guess that they’d show up later in the issue.
