Larry Mattox

Larry Mattox made his entrance in 1996's The Maxx #21 — co-created by the legendary Sam Kieth alongside Alan Moore — dropping into one of Image Comics' most surreal and psychologically rich titles right in the thick of its celebrated run. He shares that strange, dreamlike world with the likes of Maxx, Julie Winters, and Sara, a cast that has made The Maxx a touchstone of the Copper/Modern Age. His appearances are few and choice, the kind of supporting presence that rewards the dedicated reader hunting every corner of Kieth's singular universe. If you're working through The Maxx and The Maxx: Maxximized, Larry Mattox is one of those quietly intriguing figures who reminds you just how much texture lives in the margins of a truly great comic.
