Talk:Heavy Metal (magazine)

message: The article says the HM wasn't published from 1987-2002.  That doesn't seem correct to me.  Even though I didn't read it that time pediod, I'm pretty sure I occasionally saw it at the newstand.  ike9898 14:31, Apr 3, 2004 (UTC)
:I don't think it's right either.  I know I bought a few issues in that time period.  Maybe it was referring to just Métal Hurlant?  I'm changing the text to refer to just that magazine. —Frecklefoot 14:13, Apr 5, 2004 (UTC)
::So was Freckelfoot's guess correct?  It's sad to think that information might be wrong yet have been sitting there for four years uncorrected.   Not being a HM/MH buff, I'm clueless.  I just checked GCD and couldn't make sense of their current listing, it's all these undated volume numbers.  --AC (talk) 07:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A check to the Métal Hurlant article, as well was the presumably more authoritative french version give pretty much the same dates.  "Never mind." --AC (talk) 07:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Publication dates

message: The current article says "screaming", but M%C3%A9tal_Hurlant prefers "howling".  There is a difference:
  Scream \Scream\ (skr[=e]m), v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Screamed}
     (skr[=e]md); p. pr. & vb. n. {Screaming}.] [Icel. skraema to
     scare, terrify; akin to Sw. skr[aum]ma, Dan. skraemme. Cf.
     {Screech}.]
     To cry out with a shrill voice; to utter a sudden, sharp
     outcry, or shrill, loud cry, as in fright or extreme pain; to
     shriek; to screech.
     [1913 Webster]
  Howl \Howl\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Howled}; p. pr. & vb. n.
     {Howling}.] [OE. houlen, hulen; akin to D. huilen, MHG.
     hiulen, hiuweln, OHG. hiuwil[=o]n to exult, h?wo owl, Dan.
     hyle to howl.]
     1. To utter a loud, protracted, mournful sound or cry, as
        dogs and wolves often do.
        [1913 Webster]
Judging only from etymology, howling seems better.  --AC (talk) 07:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Hurlant'' in English is "howling" or "screaming"? 

message: "Heavy Metal's high-quality artwork is notable." What kind of sentence is this for an encyclopedia? CoW mAnX (talk) 07:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it's notable if most magazines featured lower-quality artwork.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 00:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad Sentence 

message: Beginning with March 1992 (supposedly Vol.16 #1 but numbered Vol.15 #6 - same as Jan/92) the issue numbers on the title page went crazy.  For instance, May 93 is numbered Vol.30, #7! It looks as if the next issue (July) is correctly Vol.17 #3.  The '93 Specials don't appear to have been affected.  
I can find no place on the web where this matter is addressed.  I think a mention here would be nice, or at least a reference.  Dmforcier (talk) 21:46, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The sentence "The series "Interceptor" is being adapted into a film." quotes a source from 2015. A quick web search shows no news of that project in 2020. Bela59 (talk) 12:13, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  The series "Interceptor" is being adapted into a film. Or is it?
