Sam Kieth’s opus, The Maxx, is collected here in all its freshly-colored glory. Taking remastered pages from The Maxx: Maxximized, this new series of trade paperbacks packs 12-issues of Kieth goodness between the covers. Originally published by Image Comics starting in 1993, The Maxx became a cult hit of independent comics spawning a TV show on MTV. The series follows its titular hero in the real world as a vagrant and in an alternate reality called The Outback, where he sees himself as a superhero and protector of the Jungle Queen, represented by Julie Winters, a social worker and friend. The series lasted for 35 issues and ended in 1998.
