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. WWAC is thrilled to present an exclusive preview from “Peppermint Wendy,” an upcoming story in this exciting new series by writer/artist Miran Kim.
Metal Hurlant is set to launch with a Spring 2025 issue, 50 years after its premiere issue in January 1975, and will be available through newsstands, comic book shops, bookstores, by subscription and via its Kickstarter campaign.
Each volume of Metal Hurlant will be a massive 272+page literary experience. Highlights from the first year of Metal Hurlant include:
-
All-new, sophisticated, and electrifying genre stories by visionary graphic storytellers and international superstars, like Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, Karla Pacheco, James Stokoe, Fabien Vehlmann, and Mark Waid.
-
Archival material from Metal Hurlant’s original run in France, that have either never before been published in English or have been out-of-print for decades, including rare short stories from Mœbius and content from Metal Hurlant founders Philippe Druillet and Jean-Pierre Dionnet.
-
Robert Crumb’s iconic comic about Philip K. Dick.
-
Premier editorial features including articles from independent journalists, such as cultural commentaries, personal essays, and interviews with top talents from across the arts including Ted Chiang, William Gibson, Alan Moore, and Denis Villeneuve.
