This is the July 2009 cover of Heavy Metal Magazine, featuring a striking, heavily armored female warrior with a fierce, determined expression, set against a fiery, golden-yellow background. She wears ornate, dark metallic armor with spiked shoulder guards and a helmet that has bat-like wings and a menacing, skull-inspired visage. Her body is partially exposed beneath the armor, revealing scars and chains, including a prominent cross pendant. She wields a massive, ornate weapon in her right hand and another in her left, both dripping with blood and adorned with demonic or gothic motifs. Her left thigh bears a circular emblem with a stylized “H” and “2,” suggesting a faction or insignia. The cover prominently announces “Manara & Jodorowsky Return with Borgia #3!” and features the iconic “HEAVY METAL” masthead in bold white letters. The magazine’s branding as “World’s #1 Adult Illustrated Fantasy Magazine” is visible at the bottom, along with the price of $5.99 and a barcode. The overall aesthetic is dark, gritty, and fantastical, evoking themes of war, power, and fantasy horror.
