if you want HEAVY METAL™
buy old Heavy Metal magazines, you can find them still cheap in bins at comic book stores that carry old stuff, the magazine was still good and influential well thru the 90s imho. HM curates its own style really...
specific artists that they featured were:
Moebius' stuff (avoid the recent incal recolored reissues)
Ranxerox or sometimes called Ranx by Tanino Libertore for hardcore trashy cyberpunk.
Richard Corbens work for classic hm art/fantasy themes
Enki Bilal interesting art and storytelling similair to Moebius.
for storytelling and great art Jordowskys Metabarons illustrated by Juan Gimenez for amazing tech designs mixed with fantasy.
theres also weapons of Metabarons illustrated by Travis Charest, awesome.
but all of Juan Gimenez really, he got me into HM stuff he is my favorite.
his interior art is amazing, every panel is rendered out.
I will attach some of his stuff.
After that look for Simon Bisleys work which eastman was a huge fan of and where heavy metal kinda took a different stylistic turn.
