This is the cover of Heavy Metal magazine, issue April 1978, priced at $1.50. The central figure is a muscular, green-skinned, humanoid alien with a bald head and reptilian features, standing in a dynamic, heroic pose. He is holding a large, ornate, golden spear with both hands, positioned diagonally across his body. He wears green, knee-high boots and a green loincloth, with a green sash draped over his shoulder. His skin has a textured, scaly appearance, and his eyes are hidden by a dark green mask-like pattern. The background is a vivid, red desert landscape with jagged rock formations and a distant, pointed mountain. The sky is a gradient of turquoise to blue, adding a stark contrast to the red ground. The magazine's title, "Heavy," is in bold, white, block letters with a black outline, occupying the upper half of the cover. The subtitle, "The Adult Illustration Magazine," is smaller and positioned to the right of the title. The alien stands slightly to the left of center, facing right, with his body angled towards the viewer. The overall style is highly detailed and dynamic, typical of 1970s fantasy and science fiction art. The color contrast between the green figure and red background creates a striking visual effect. // Heavy Metal (heavy-metal-z-image-10905) 0.8
