Abstract
Heavy Metal and Comic Books are admired by fans with similar senses of belonging, commitment, and devotion to the forms of media that they regularly engage in with other fans. Drawing upon the work of independent Metal Studies researcher Colin McKinnon as well as notions of fandom developed by Jenkins (1992)and Hills (2002)respectively, I discuss critical events in the timelines of both cultural forms. I also discuss examples of where comic books and Heavy Metal have collided - including the urban legend of the Sports Illustrated issue whose ink contained the blood of members of the Heavy Metal band KISS.
Presented at the monthly Nerd Nite event at Galbraith's Ale House.
