While out picking up a ninja suite yesterday, I ended up in a comic book store (next door) which had this copy of Heavy Metal Magazine on the shelf from March of 1979.

Knowing that Away was an avid fan of HM back in his formative years, I couldn't help but notice the spiritual connection between the cover art of this particular issue and the glorious artwork that so perfectly represents the sound of RrröööaaarrR. Though both pieces are stylistically different, it does make me wonder if Away had this in mind at all when creating the cover for RrröööaaarrR.

Needless to say, I bought this on the spot... only $5.99 anyway.

You can find a higher resolution version of the cover HERE. Also worth checking the gallery out for other great scans.

While thumbing though this, and another issue I bought as well (Nov. 1979), I could definitely see hints of things that one might consider, proto-Morgoth... for lack of a better term, haha. Beautiful stuff. Used to by these a lot back in 83-84 until my parents asked me to refrain from bringing these home after opening one of the issues to find some dude with multiple penises railing a couple of alien ladies.

... by the way, the ninja suite was not for me to wear. I am not that nerdy.

Cool find X-D!!! In his book Away clearly identify the Heavy Metal magazine as one of his inspirations!
