This issue reprints iconic stories that made the magazine famous, each is accompanied by a one-page critical essay.

This issue features a new interview with Enki Bilal and a new interview with Philippe Manoeuvre, who wrote frequently for Métal Hurlant and was an editor-in-chief of Métal Hurlant.

From the publisher:

Every quarter, Métal Hurlant takes you into the mysteries of the imagination!

Both a panorama of today's imagination and a playground for comic book authors, Métal Hurlant, as eclectic as it is inventive, takes you into the mysteries of the imagination. Métal Hurlant features more than 250 pages of comics, accompanied by articles on cultural news and unpublished interviews: enough to satisfy all lovers of the imagination!

In this new issue, Philippe Manœuvre recounts in an exclusive interview "his Métal years". To echo this, a good part of this issue is devoted to rock comics. Enki Bilal is also in the spotlight with a long interview and pages from Exterminateur 17 published in their original colors.
