Avrupalı işlerlerin yanında sıradışı Yeni Dünyalı yaratıcılara işlerini sergileme imkanı veren dergi, Atlantik’in öte yakasındaki ağbeyinin 'vefat'ının ardından da, bugünlere dek güçlü bir şekilde gelmeyi bildi. 1981 tarihli Heavy Metal filmine gelince, işte bu kült derginin sayfalarından 5 (+ video için fazladan 1) kısa öyküyü birleştirerek türün hayranlarına kıyak yapıyor. Animasyon kalitesi pek iç açıcı olmasa da hikayeleme olarak epey ilginç bir içerik yelpazesi sunan bu derlemenin en güçlü isimleri, hiç kuşkusuz Den ve Harry Canyon...

King of Kensington is a Canadian television sitcom which aired on CBC Television from 1975 to 1980. The show starred Al Waxman as Larry King, a convenience store owner in Toronto's Kensington Market who was known for helping friends and neighbours solve problems. His multicultural group of friends consisted of Nestor Best, Max, and Tony "Duke" Zarro, who hung around regularly to the perennial disapproval of King's mother Gladys. The show was popular with viewers; prior to the start of the fourth season one of the producers noted that show drew 1.5 to 1.8 million viewers weekly. For the first three seasons, Fiona Reid played his wife Cathy. At the end of the third season, Reid decided to leave the series, so Larry and Cathy divorced. The show never fully recovered its stride or chemistry as Larry pursued other relationships, most notably with Gwen Twining in the final season. The show's gentle but politically conscious humour is seen by some critics as a Canadian version of the topical Norman Lear sitcoms of the 1970s, such as All in the Family and Maude. The series was syndicated to some American stations during the height of its popularity, including WTTG in Washington, D.C.
