Ravager to complete an all-new 4-page horror story entitled Pond Scum for the
issue. David says, "I grew up with Heavy Metal. I would study the art in
them for hours upon hours and there was nothing else like it out there. It was
a big part of my childhood and I am honored to be a part of the magazine
now."
Dwayne Harris, who recently optioned his graphic novel
Amnesia (Arcana) to Sony, completed the short story Dangerous Curves for this
issue. Dwayne explains, "I'm
