Epic Illustrated was a comics anthology in magazine format published in the United States by Marvel Comics. The series lasted for 34 issues, from Spring 1980 to February 1986.
Similar to the US-licensed comic book magazine Heavy Metal, it allowed explicit content to be featured unlike the traditional American comic books of that time due to the restrictive Comics Code Authority, as well as offering its writers and artists ownership rights and royalties in place of the industry-standard work for hire contracts.
A color comic-book imprint, Epic Comics, was spun off in 1982.
