We get another letter bemoaning the general rape/sadism/misogyny tone of the stories in earlier issues, which I generally agree with. I wonder how much of Animal House's development as a cultural phenomenon was based not only on the film's own quality, but also on how National Lampoon kept pumping out various T-Shirts and other pieces of wearable merch to keep the film in the public eye. Also, National Lampoon is advertising the hell out of Animal House. Our cover art for this issue, “Helen of Troy” by Marcus Boas, is more work safe then earlier covers, and also is a little more conventional for fantasy art. My earlier recaps of issues were done as blog posts, but henceforth they'll be done as reviews, unless there is any objection. Alright, I'm finally returning to Heavy Metal Magazine, with Volume 2, issue 7 for November of 1978.
