Heavy Metal is responsible for introducing comic world to some great sciFi writers and fantasy artist.As an alternative to the mainstream statues I think HCG is doing a great thing putting out these statues.
Heavy Metal Magazine is pretty much an adult illustrated Magazine and has brought Sci Fi,Erotica,Fantasy and comics together.With artists like Simon Bisley,Hajime Sorayama,Luis Royo and Alex Horley who are all excellent artists when it comes to the Female form.
Alex Horley's Cybercop was one of the HM Mag covers in 2003.And was combined with a comic oriented story in the Mag.
It will be nice to see how the Simon Bisley finished piece turns out.These could be quite nice.
