I know you're a fan of Druillet's Salammbo. Is it worth tracking down the issues of Heavy Metal it appeared in or should I just buy the pretty book in French that I can't read?

Good question. I wish I knew more about Drullet’s writing. As far as I know when his work was running in HM it was always in really short chunks– nothing hefty in one issue like the later HM’s Waters of deadmoon Or Skydoll (with a whole French book in one issue) 

Here’s a link to a bunch of the earlier HM issues with his work in them that you can read. (and I should too)
