Asylum Press Publisher Frank Forte is going to be the guest editor for issue #271 of Heavy Metal Magazine and the plan is to make it a sci-fi/horror spectactular.

In the issue Steve Mannion (Fearless Dawn) delivers a nod to Moebius in Prayer… a Fearless Dawn yarn, William Broad gives us Priests of the Black Death where an order of the Templars has become corrupt and power hungry…for satanism and witchcraft! Dwayne Harris (Black Powder) serves up the post apocalyptic action thriller Dangerous Curves. Forte and Tim Vigil (Faust) drops a sick and twisted tale entitled Allison, David Hartman (Strange Cases) delivers a short horror story entitled Pond Scum where hillbillies hunt for an illusive bog creature.  Hilary Barta churns up an EC-styled sci-fi/horror piece called Evaluation, Robert S. Rhine (Girls and Corpses) and Forte knock out a tale of crazed sideshow freaks tabbed Separation Anxiety, Elizabeth J. Musgrave (Hell Comes to Hollywood) conjures an erotic robotic thriller LUST, Lingerie and Diodes!.  Mutation is a tale of demented sex in a post-nuke world by Forte and J.C. Wong. Royal McGraw and Adauto Silva invoke Feast, after the zombie apocalypse, cities have been rebuilt… and restaurants have opened. One chef must prepare a very special meal. Comics from a cast of international talent that includes: In The Green Fairy, by Jason Paulos (EEEK!), Struggling artist Anton Goffroy finds heaven and hell in the arms of a mysterious sorceress!, Swamp Girl takes us back to a barbarian era where a young girl finds more than she's looking for in a watery hole of horrors, by Forte and Fabio Nahon, , Warlash by Nenad Gucunja (Undead Evil), Sacro Profano by Mirka and Mother by Mark Covell (Satan's Circus of Hell).  Gallery sections include concept artist Ben Olson (The Suffering) and fine artist Dave Lebow (La Luz De Jesus Gallery, Dexter TV series).
