THE ORIGINAL GRAPHIC ANTHOLOGY THAT ROCKED THE WORLD OF SCIENCE FICTION AND COMICS IS NOW BACK IN PRINT WITH A MONSTROUS THIRD ISSUE.Go ahead. Let out your inner monster. We’re all friends here. What makes a monster? Is it a strange and horrific physiology? A cruel and vicious disposition? A malevolent and otherworldly air? Perhaps the answers lie under your bed. In the deep, dark woods. Behind your eyes. Monsters lurk everywhere, and you will find them aplenty—from the deceptively adorable to the mind-breakingly incomprehensible, from the fantastical to the all-too-real—within this installment of Humanoids’ celebrated genre anthology, Metal Hurlant. Inside this 272-page monster of a tome: an interview with writer/director/producer Brian Yuzna (Society, Bride of Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead 3), a study of Noël Carroll’s taxonomy of monsters, a brief walk through the enduring legacy of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and 25 tales of magnificent monstrosity from these terrifyingly talented comics creators: ALESSANDRO SAIU, BROUETTE HURLANTE, CECYLE BAY, CORBEYRAN, DERF BACKDERF, ELENE USDIN, ELIE HUAULT, ENKI BILAL, GWENDAL BRIEC, JEAN-CLAUDE MÉZIÈRES, JEAN-PIERRE DIONNET, JIM BISHOP, JORG DE VOS, JUREK MALOTTKE, KELECK, KOREN SHADMI, MARC CARO, MATTHEW ALLISON, MICHAEL HALMOS, MIRAN KIM, MŒBIUS, NEYEF, NICOLAS BÈGUE, NICOLE CLAVELOUX, RURIK SALLÉ, RYAN HESHKA, SALVADOR SANZ, STEPHANE LEVALLOIS, TIM ADAM, VINCENT BONAVOGLIA

Utopia has been chased by sentient beings since the beginning of time. But what is it? Where is it? When? How?This installment of Humanoids’ celebrated genre anthology explores “heaven on earth” (and beyond), and the systems that have made it impossible, illusory, or brief, warping it into its darker dystopian mirror… Inside this 272-page tome: Interviews with filmmaker, documentarian, and “cult” expert Jodi Wille (The Source Family, Welcome Space Brothers), and utopian sci-fi master Kim Stanley Robinson (The Mars Trilogy, Ministry for the Future); a brief glimpse of French legend Tardi, and the complete Polonius, his rare, depraved 44-page work with writer Picaret; and 23 visions of utopias lost and found from the talented creators of comics past, present, and future.

Witness one of the most stunning revolutions in rock ’n’ roll history in this authoritative and visually rich history of grunge.In the early 1990s, a new sound from the Pacific Northwest changed everything. Grunge! charts the rise of the movement that redefined rock through its raw power, authenticity, and emotion—and the community that gave it life. Longtime Seattle journalist Gillian G. Gaar, who lived the story firsthand, explores how bands such as grunge’s so-called “Big Four”—Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains—rose from dive bars and DIY record labels to dominate airwaves, fashion, and pop culture worldwide.Richly illustrated with rare photography, concert flyers, and memorabilia, Grunge! traces the genre’s roots in the region’s earlier garage rock and punk scenes, then follows its explosion and enduring influence, year by year, from 1986 through 1996. Gaar also spotlights:Key venues like the Central, Vogue, and Off Ramp that helped nurture the sceneFoundational labels, including Sub Pop, C/Z, and Kill Rock Stars, that transmitted Seattle’s sounds around the globePhotographers and chroniclers such as Charles Peterson and others who visually captured the chaos and creativityEssential bands, including the Big Four and trailblazers such as Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Melvins, Screaming Trees, the Gits, 7 Year Bitch, TAD, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, and Foo FightersIn addition, Gaar includes relevant quotes from her own contemporary interviews with folks who figured prominently in the story, including Steve Albini (producer/engineer), Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam), Mark Arm (Mudhoney), Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney, Portlandia), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Chad Channing (Nirvana), Cameron Crowe (filmmaker), Tad Doyle (TAD), Jack Endino (producer), Eric Erlandson (Hole), Danny Goldberg (Nirvana manager), Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, solo), Courtney Love (Hole), Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Bruce Pavitt (Sub Pop cofounder), Charles Peterson (photographer), Jonathan Poneman (Sub Pop cofounder), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Everett True (journalist), and Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney).Grunge! revisits the years when Seattle ruled the world, offering an insider’s view of the movement that blended punk attitude, heavy riffs, and unvarnished authenticity into a cultural force that still resonates.For fans of rock history and 1990s culture, this is the ultimate tribute to music’s last true revolution—authentic, loud, and forever influential.

Heavy Metal, Gender and Sexuality brings together a collection of original, interdisciplinary, critical essays exploring the negotiated place of gender and sexuality in heavy metal music and its culture. Scholars debate the current state of play concerning masculinities, femininities, queerness, identity aesthetics and monstrosities in an area of music that is sometimes mistakenly treated as exclusively sustaining a masculinist hegemony. The book combines a broad variety of perspectives on the main topic, regarding gender in connection to: the history of the genre; the range of metal subgenres; heavy metal's multidimensional scope (music, lyrics, performance, style, illustrations); men and women; sexualities and various local and global perspectives. Heavy Metal, Gender and Sexuality is a text that opens up the world of heavy metal to reveal that it is a very diverse and ground-breaking stage where gender play is at the centre of its theatricality and sustains its mass appeal.

'An epic tale, told the way it should be' RECORD COLLECTOR'The book he was born to write' CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE'An entertaining read for long-standing fans and newcomers alike' GUITARISTThe final word on the only name synonymous with heavy metal - Black Sabbath.Way back in the mists of time, in the days when rock giants walked the earth, the name Ozzy Osbourne was synonymous with the subversive and dark. Back then, Ozzy was the singer in Black Sabbath, and they meant business. A four-piece formed from the ashes of two locally well-known groups called The Rare Breed (Ozzy and bassist Geezer Butler) and Mythology (guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward), all four founding members of the original Black Sabbath grew up within half-a-mile of each other.This biography tells the story of how they made that dream come true - and how it then turned into a nightmare for all of them. How at the height of their fame, Sabbath discovered they had been so badly ripped off by their managers they did not even own their own songs. How they looked for salvation from Don Arden - an even more notorious gangster figure, who resurrected their career but still left them indebted to him, financially and personally. And how it finally came to a head when in 1979 they sacked Ozzy: 'For being too out of control - even for us,' as Bill Ward put it.The next 15 years would see a war break out between the two camps: the post-Ozzy Sabbath and Ozzy himself, whose solo career overshadowed Sabbath to the point where, when he offered them the chance to reform around him again, it was entirely on his terms. Or rather, that of his wife and manager, daughter of Don Arden - Sharon Osbourne.
