July, 1985......on the radio and on MTV, Sting's single If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free is in heavy rotation.
The July issue of Heavy Metal magazine is out, with a cheesecake cover titled 'Tattoo Two' by Olivia DeBerardinis.
The Dossier section for this issue is filled with quintessential 80s pop culture features.
Foremost is an interview with Australian director George Miller, whose third film in the 'Mad Max' trilogy, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, is being released in theatres in the US.
Also of interest is an interview with the well-known artist Howard Chaykin.
Articles on print media deal with new books from Jack Vance and Richard Bachman (Stephen King).
In his 'rok' music reviews, Lou Stathis indicates that he is suffering from something called 'vinyl fatigue'.........brought on by his feelings of 'boredom and disgust with the music scene.' Those of us not gifted with his degree of hipster-ness are left to wonder why, despite his existential angst and creative despair, Stathis covers bands named Bongos, Death Comet Crew, and.....Cabaret Voltaire ? Maybe for Stathis, it's a case of ......Too many Synth bands, not enough Time....
The video section has some real obscure titles...by all means, drop a Comment if you've ever seen S. S. Experiment Love Camp.....!?
As far as the comic / graphic content goes, the best singleton entry is the striking 'Metropolis', by someone named 'Sesar'.
I suspect that 'Sesar' is a pseudonym used by regular Heavy Metal contributor Jean Michel Nicollet, but I could be wrong.....anyways, 'Metropolis' is posted below.....
