Enki Bilal's comic book masterpiece, Nikopol, becomes IMMORTEL.
In the realm of missed opportunities, Heavy Metal magazine, like Marvel Comics, could have had a long and profitable universe of an entire series of movies. Yet graphic stories that premiered in the magazine, have had to go it alone in the cinema.
When French comic artists Jean Giraud (Mœbius) and Philippe Druillet got together with writer Jean-Pierre Dionnet and financial director Bernard Farkas, they created and became Les Humanoïdes Associés (United Humanoids). Out of that group came Metal Hurlant (Screaming Metal) magazine. Without Metal Hurlant, there would be no Heavy Metal magazine.
The magazine brought in fantastic talent including Richard Corben, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Caza, and Enki Bilal. It was there in the pages of Metal Hurlant and later, Heavy Metal, that audiences were first exposed to Bilal's decade long tale of Nikopol.
That was in the 1980s. It would be 2004 before Enki's visual style and story were realized upon the screen.
Enki Bilal has his own Wikipedia page.
