French science-fiction anthology “Metal Hurlant” is relaunching, 50 years after its debut, as a quarterly anthology with a lineup filled with high-profile creators from around the world. Launching directly to consumers with a Kickstarter campaign, the project features work from talent including Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, James Stokoe and Mark Waid. Co-founded by legendary artist Mœbius, the book’s legacy includes American offshoot “Heavy Metal,” which began by largely featuring licensed translations of “Metal Hurlant” stories.
Mœbius is known for his collaboration on the unmade “Dune” adaptation developed by controversial filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, developing concept art and storyboards with creators that included H.R.
