Maxx #7/1987 (19)
In Maxx #7 (1987), Rick Veitch crafts a haunting, visually striking tale set on the distant planet Epsilon Bootis, where human settlers oppress the native Ploo people. As broadcasts of old Earth TV shows are revered as sacred texts, Sunoco finds himself drawn to Maia, a Ploo woman, in a story that blends surreal imagery with quiet emotional weight. The issue’s stark, hand-drawn aesthetic—by Rick Veitch, who wrote, drew, inked, and colored it—anchors a narrative steeped in cultural collision and fragile connection.
In the stark colonies of Epsilon Bootis, where Earth’s old TV broadcasts are revered as sacred texts, Sunoco finds herself drawn to Maia, a woman of the oppressed Ploo people. As their bond deepens in a world shaped by forgotten Earth culture and colonial tension, the line between memory and meaning begins to blur.
