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.
