'Mandryka, like Druillet, like Dionnet, like Moebius, they all came from Pilote, the comics magazine published by ( Asterix writer) René Goscinny.' Lecigne continues. I've always loved a little courtelinesque (tragicomic dealings with administration) stuff…Les Humanoïdes Associés have that seedier side that I really appreciate.'. There was a novel by Jack Williamson called Humanoids and that I really liked. 'Nikita came up with Métal Hurlant, I came up with Les Humanoïdes Associés. Legend has that it came from the mind of Nikita Mandryka, an artist who was involved in the creation of another magazine, L'Écho des Savanes.' Dionnet confirms this in his book La Machine À Rêver. 'It's not easy to say where the name Métal Hurlant comes from. But this changed in the first half of the 1970s.' In France, comics had traditionally been more for children.
Les Humanoïdes Associés Senior Editor Bruno Lecigne recounts, 'It was one of the first magazines that, with science-fiction and comics together, proposed comics for adults. In Paris 1974, artists Moebius (Jean Giraud) and Philippe Druillet, along with writer Jean-Pierre Dionnet, and financial director Bernard Farkas founded the magazine Métal Hurlant. LHA/Humanoids have continually introduced strong talents and published powerful stories that not only entertain but also entice the reader into new worlds that expand the possibilities of our own. office and now parent company, Humanoids Inc., has been running since 1998, 2014 also sees the launch of Humanoids UK as well as opening for business in Japan. To commemorate such a milestone, in true Humanoids style, they've been releasing new editions of old classics as well as fascinating new adventures, making sure the books are beautiful to hold and behold. Legendary French publishing house, Les Humanoïdes Associés, has been celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
