The Corbenite Maneuver

As a mere lad attending the 1971 Worldcon in Boston, I saw this experimental short film by the exceptionally talented artist Richard Corben, best known for his work in Heavy Metal. According to Corben’s wife, he died on December 2, age 80, following heart surgery.

  1. I didn’t see the movie when it came out either, despite buying the magazine whenever it featured art by Corben and/or Jean Girard, aka Moebius. Heavy Metal was an Americanization of the French publication Metal Hurlant, founded by Girard and others.

  2. I remember when the movie Heavy Metal came out, and of course, Sammy Hagar’s title song. Never did see it, though!
