Max of the Regulators #2

In "Heavier than Heavy," Max of the Regulators confronts a scathing review from Don Thompson of the Comics Buyer's Guide, turning the criticism into a personal reckoning. As Veronica expresses her frustration with the fanzine’s influence, Max’s reaction takes a dramatic turn—burning a copy of the publication in a moment that speaks volumes about the weight of public opinion. Written, drawn, and lettered by David Smith, with cover art by Frederic Cooper, this 1985 issue from Atlantic Comics delivers a raw, introspective look at creative vulnerability.
