Metal Hurlant Issue #3
The Monster Within - Softcover Trade

coming soon

Bold, transgressive comics, beamed to Earth quarterly with all-new stories, cutting edge reportage, and iconic archival material.

50 years after the debut of Metal Hurlant in France, the iconic and genre-defining publication is returning to English, with a bigger and bolder iteration than ever before: as a quarterly anthology published by Humanoids. Each volume of Metal Hurlant will feature 272+ pages of a one-of-a-kind, otherworldly, literary experience.

In 1974, fellow, rebellious bande dessinée creators Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Philippe Druillet, and Mœbius wanted to push the boundaries of the comics medium to tell mature, cerebral, and often titillating stories that embraced a punk attitude.

Metal Hurlant was their brainchild, a cutting edge comics anthology published under their newly founded publishing house Les Humanoïdes Associés (Humanoids).

More details

Go ahead. Let out your inner monster. We’re all friends here.

What makes a monster? Is it a strange and horrific physiology? A cruel and vicious disposition? A malevolent and otherworldly air? Perhaps the answers lie under your bed. In the deep, dark woods. Behind your eyes. Monsters lurk everywhere, and you will find them aplenty—from the deceptively adorable to the mind-breakingly incomprehensible, from the fantastical to the all-too-real—within this installment of Humanoids’ celebrated genre anthology, Metal Hurlant.

Inside this 272-page monster of a tome: an interview with writer/director/producer Brian Yuzna (Society, Bride of Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead 3), a study of Noël Carroll’s taxonomy of monsters, a brief walk through the enduring legacy of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and 25 tales of magnificent monstrosity from these terrifyingly talented creators of comics past, present, and future.
