Lovecraft scholar Bobbie Derie provides a comprehensive inventory of Lovecraftian specials from the 19774-1987 run of Métal Hurlant, primarily in French and Italiann.
CW: Includes description of a racist comic by Yves Chaland (relies on tropes about Black people being inferior as the source of its ahem horrific reveal... could be critical of older works, but isn't explicit enough about it if so.)

In excellent news for those of us who don't speak French, someone has started uploading the Spanish issues of Metal Hurlant to @internetarchive!
Love the subversive cover art of this 1955 issue of the Worlds of IF science fiction magazine, featuring art by Kelly Freas. It could have easily made the cover of Métal Hurlant, a.k.a Heavy Metal, back in the days of its outrageous 70s era ️
Worlds of IF has just been relaunched, check it out: https://worldsofifmagazine.com/
Revivals.
I was a big fan of Métal Hurlant, to see it revived by the folks at Humanoïdes Associés is such a treat. And now another cult science fiction magazine has relaunched, for us to discover or rediscover: Worlds of IF

“Double Escape” by Mœbius (Jean Giraud) from Métal Hurlant #50 (France, April 1980) which appears to be a riff on the classic Will Eisner Spirit story “The Story of Gerhard Shnobble” (September 5, 1948, excerpt).
