a saga of strange & pleasantly unusual….

This is a custom modified detailed restoration that has been treated with multiple layers of a protective coating to ensure its long-lasting preservation.
Parts where stickers and other materials have been placed are to fill in gaps where the original paper was no longer integrally sound or was missing in its entirety.
This vintage first print 1977 third issue of Heavy Metal Magazine has been modified only in terms of structural integrity & is merely coincidence that those repair materials were equivocally appropriate decorative accents for this iconic piece of literature.
Now, after carefully putting it back together & applying a multi layer treatment, this item has been fully reinforced & upgraded front cover/back cover, in addition to the spine..
It is truly a piece of art that will take you on a journey through the pages of Heavy Metal. This rare find is perfect for fans of the genre and collectors alike.
You will absolutely never come across another issue like it.
