Requiem Vampire Knight

>Requiem Vampire Knight
>one of the most beautifully drawn comics known to man
>every page is a stunning work of art by Olive LeDroit
>written by the amazing Pat Mills
>was only published in Heavy Metal magazine in the early 00's
>published in volumes by "Panini Comics" but they are all long out of print
>only choices are reading it digitally like a fag or buying volumes off ebay for insane prices

Somebody save me from this living hell. I just want to read these in my hand as an actual book. Why arent there big hardcorver editions of this, with giant pages to see all the detail, and all still in print?

Wow that really does look great.

they're overprinted and fairly cheap, even cheaper if you buy them in french. more than $20 an issue and you're getting ripped off.

Why would anyone buy something in a language they can't read? ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT?

if you don't live in anglo counties localized books are cheaper and easier to find

Honestly, i wish they toned down the humour a bit. I would prefer the book to fully embrace the edge and have a dark story, like, ditch the orgasm stealing monkey

Yes, I can jerk off to this

No one reads Requiem for the story, if you want it to gush over the art, french is the best way to go as has the dialog boxes where the artist originally planed for them to be.

I would probably even avoid the Heavy Metal version since the art is stretched out to fit HM's magazine format. so it's missing all the cool tapestry designs in the gutters

>No one reads Requiem for the story

Its one of those "So bad its good" kind of things.

>No one reads Requiem for the story
Just as no one reads One Piece for the story, but Requiem is too "controversial" to get a normal US publisher.

I had to majorly downsize this splashpage just to make it fit under the file limit.

I'm sorry ...Sir SMEGMA?

Oui.

Just what the hell is this
the art is great but it looks so dumb on paper

You look dumb on paper

EXTREMELY edgy french comic with amazing artwork. Like many edgy euro comics, Heavy Metal magazine was the only way for it to get published in north america at the time.

>Just what the hell is this
Hell it is. Literally.

It's always the french. Anyway, it's called heavy metal then? I'll give it a look.

It's called Requiem Vampire Knight

you gotta remember Requiem came out in 2000, by 2003 when the Heavy version came out that had been the only place to even sniff a European comic in the states

No, Its called "Requiem Knight Vampire". In french its called "Requiem Chevalier Vampire". Heavy Metal Magazine is a magazine that gets a new issue every 3-4 months that collects various adult themed comics from different artists and writers.

appreciate it, thanks

Funny thing, art is amazing but constant cursing, edgy humour, infernal setting with bunch of overpowered overlords and abundance of small details in the art that makes it rather heavy to read actually reminds me of Hazbin Hotel.
Yes, I know Requiem is far older, I saw it here many years ago when someone storytimed it.

>Yas Forums not knowing what Heavy Metal is

can we have SOME gatekeeping here going on? the Yas Forumsmblr is real

I was planning on storytiming Joe Kubert's Sojourn to edumacate people

lmao what

I notice that the traffic in this board in general is lacking as hell. I wouldn’t even mind some gatekeeping, I just miss the shelf threads so much.

>pat mills
Slaine is about his only good work.

This is just good for the art.

Mills is so far up his own ass it's hard to take him seriously.

That said I do love his rants.
The future shock DVD where he bitches about everyone and in turn everyone bitches about him is worth the entrance money alone.

They still happen lad. Just die so quick these days.
