The Maximortal #5

Rick Veitch's singular vision drives this fifth chapter of "Book One: Cheek, Chin, Knuckle or Knee," published through his own King Hell imprint in 1993. The cover image isn't available here, but the issue itself represents Veitch working at full creative control — writing, drawing, inking, and lettering the series himself, with colors by Sam Parsons. If you've been following The Maximortal, this installment keeps the momentum of one of the more boldly independent superhero deconstructions of its era.
