History Magazine / HeavyMetal

* NonIndicativeName: ''Heavy Metal'' magazine has nothing to do with the music genre of HeavyMetal music. It's an anthology of adult-themed comics, many of them fantasy and science fiction. Its original French name is ''Metal Hurlant'' (Screaming/Howling Metal) and it was co-founded by the French artist Creator/{{Moebius}}. The movie adaptation attempted to incorporate some examples of the music genre into the background music but the film score was still clearly dominated by Elmer Bernstein. And even when rock was incorporated, the majority chosen for whatever reason, definitely non-metal acts like Journey, Grand Funk Railroad, Stevie Nicks, Music/CheapTrick, and Music/{{Devo}}. (Grand Funk ''was'' considered metal in TheSeventies, however.)

* SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl: In the Horacio Altuna story ''Cat'', the protagonist Jessica Hampton-Brooks is a seemingly wholesome girl (blonde, blue-eyed with YouthfulFreckles) from an upper society family, but is in fact a stellar example of TheVamp and TheSociopath.

* ''The Korrigans''
* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd''

* GameBreakingBug: ''Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2'' for PC at one point has you progress by entering a cave, but your entry is blocked by interconnecting stalactites and stalagmites. Fortunately, there is a pile of unstable meteorites right in front of it, so you can lay down a thermal detonator and wait a few seconds for it to explode, clearing the way for you to proceed. ''Un''fortunately, this pile of unstable meteorites will sometimes be located near the ceiling of this cave mouth, and not the floor. Thermal detonators can only be placed on the floor, and other explosive weapons like the rocket launcher have no effect on these meteorites. The only way to proceed is to either start a new save file and hope that the meteorites spawn on the floor this time around, or to use the cheat codes conveniently included in the game's readme file for just such an occasion - simply turn off clipping, fly through the barrier, and turn clipping back on again.

* BreakoutCharacter: Druuna was a massive hit with audiences who were attracted to the raven-haired beauty and wanted to see more of her. While ''Morbus Gravis'' was intended to be a standalone story, it spawned a decades-long [[ComicBook/{{Druuna}} comic series]].
