June 1984

Just the year "1984" gives me the shivers! With a front cover by Esteban Moroto--how can you not open this up? Frank Thorne gives us "Lann" and Rod Kierkegaard Jr. delivers an episode of "Rock Opera" Phillippe Druillet, Jodorowsky, Moebius and Juan Giminez?? Is this a classic issue of HM or what!!?? Did I mention Charles Burns or Jeff Jones?? E-nuff said!!!

September 1985

A fantastic mermaid by Greg Hildebrandt adorns the cover of this classic 80s issue! We enter a bizarre dystopian future with a rare black and white tale by Juan Gimenez. Pepe Moreno gives us Rebel and Richard Corben delivers The Bodyssey! The insanely weird Tx Arcana by John Findley--and peer into 80s pop culture with the "Dossier"

January 1990

We enter the 90s with an erotic robo/girl cover illustration by Ovi Hondru. Juan Gimenez takes us for a bizarre dopamine ride in "the Fourth Quarter". This issue will satisfy those fans who like complete stories--as the Gimenez tale is 62 pages complete! "Linen's Lipstick" is a tale drawn more on the cartoony side, but HM delved into a lot of more cartoony creators in the 80s and 90s. Rick Geary gives us a slick black and white tale with "1881". And "Back to the Sea" is a noir nailbiter! We close with a second black and white tale--also a noir- called "there's Nothing Funny About Murder".

September 1993

Oscar Chichoni adorns the clover to this classic 90s issue! We take a ride to erotica land with Vittorio Giardano's "Little Ego" (I always loved this one). We get an early Azpiri story with "The Mirror:Arabia". And various artists draw some kinky shorts with "Strip Tease" another fan fave from the 90s! Another classic issue with all complete tales-No serials)
