The Maxx #8

From Sam Kieth's unmistakable hand comes this striking May 1994 issue, where the massive, grey-skinned Pitt looms over a rocky ledge while the purple-costumed Maxx lies sprawled below on a strange, pebbled landscape. The team-up hinted at by the bold "and Pitt" title treatment promises a collision of two of Image's most visually distinctive powerhouses. Kieth's raw, organic linework — all coiled vines and twisted terrain — gives the whole scene a dreamlike unease that perfectly suits a story titled "The Burning Barbed Ring of Memory.
