It featured a wide variety of subgenres, including steampunk and dark fantasy, as well as an array of high quality art, including some covers by notable artist H.R. Giger. Due to its refusal to follow the Comics Code Authority, the magazine was able to publish more explicit material and illustration than its contemporaries, serving an older SF and fantasy audience.
