Heavy Metal, the cult comic publication called it quits in 1987 but returned in 2002. it's helped giving underground illustrators worldwide recognition: Philippe druillet, moebius, jodorowsky....and Siro! this awesome story is about a metal guitarist with a super guitar with a missing plug. once he finds the missing 6th plug he can bring the world to his knees with the intensity of his music. not that he's not already 'blowing' minds with it (get the book and you'll understand, poor mortal...). this is one of the most intense comics i've ever read. crazy story, crazy illustration style crazy everything! i gave it 4 stars because "showtime", the follow up to "maximum volume 1" is even better! both books were originally in french but whatever version you find, buy it and get a piece of comic history. you have your entire life to get to understand it and the philosophy behind it, to the full.
