I really agree with what you’re saying! It was very cool in the beginning, but got rather old quick! Still a chance to see some artists that were not well known in the USA at the time though!

I gave up buying new issues after about 6 years or so. What turned me off is that it became too predictable. Every issue highlights tits-n-ass, kind of pitched at a 16 year old audience. As far as I know the magazine is still in press at this time and in my opinion it really hasn’t changed. The original releases of matrial that appeared in Metal Hurlant was the best, the European graphic tradition appeals to a more mature audience, whereas here it degenerates into mainly soft core porn.
