The first appearances of MTV LIQUID TELEVISION's The Maxx was within the pages of a comic book. The Maxx introduced innovative animation for a grown up audience along with The Head and Aeon Flux.
This is the extremely rare issue, published by IMAGE COMICS. This comic was never available in any mass market retail outlets and was only available as a special promotional item.
Huge. Powerful. Purple. It’s that last part about being purple (along with his general confusion about life) that separates the Maxx from the other musclebound mooks you’re likely to encounter. Of undetermined origin, the Maxx seems convinced that he’s some sort of super-hero, but other than getting beaten up by bad guys, he is not exactly sure of what he’s supposed to do. Frankly, he would much rather just go home and watch Cheers.
Created, written, and drawn by Sam Kieth, the Maxx comes off like a broad comedy. Upon further examination, however, it turns out that Kieth has created one of the more complex psychodramas to be seen in comic books. The real story revolves around a girl, Julie, who suffered abuse as a child and has grown into an incredibly shy adult. The Outback is her dreamland, where she appears as a jungle princess. The Maxx is actually just a homeless bum which Julie took in.
Vintage COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Highly sought after.
RARE and OUT OF PRINT! Impossible to find!
Written and drawn by Sam Keith (co-creator of the Sandman with Neil Gaiman).
