MAXX #1 COMIC BOOK MTV LIQUID TELEVISION SAM KEITH GONZO!

THE MAXX #1 COMIC BOOK.

The first appearance of MTV LIQUID TELEVISION's The Maxx was withing 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 first issue, published by IMAGE COMICS.

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. 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.

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.

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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION



BATMAN SECRET ORIGINS SPECIAL #1 COMIC BOOK!

Featuring the humble beginnings of Villians from Batman's Rogues Gallery by Neil Gaiman and other talents, including SAM KEITH, co-creator of The Sandman and creator of THE MAXX (as seen on MTV's LIQUID TELEVISION)! Fantastic cover by BRIAN BOLLAND.
THIS EDITION IS LONG OUT OF PRINT. PUBLISHED IN 1989. ONE OF GAIMAN'S EARLIEST PUBLISHED WORK!

HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEMS. One of the few times Gaiman wrote regular mainstream comic book characters like Batman and his Rogues.

Highly Recommended!

Gaiman writes the framing sequence as well as a very whimsical Secret Origin for the Riddler, which pays nostalgic homage to Frank Gorshin's portrayal of the character in the 1960's Adam West television adaptation of Batman. One of the more unique Batman stories of that era (which coincided with the first Time Burton Batman movie).
Sam Keith illustrates the Secret Origin of the Penguin with his unique art-style, and finally the Secret Origin of Harvey Dent AKA Two Face is explored.

Asked why he likes comics more than other forms of storytelling Gaiman said “One of the joys of comics has always been the knowledge that it was, in many ways, untouched ground. It was virgin territory. When I was working on Sandman, I felt a lot of the time that I was actually picking up a machete and heading out into the jungle. I got to write in places and do things that nobody had ever done before. When I’m writing novels I’m painfully aware that I’m working in a medium that people have been writing absolutely jaw-droppingly brilliant things for, you know, three-four thousand years now. You know, you can go back. We have things like The Golden Ass. And you go, well, I don’t know that I’m as good as that and that’s two and a half thousand years old. But with comics I felt like — I can do stuff nobody has ever done. I can do stuff nobody has ever thought of. And I could and it was enormously fun.”
