About the series
In 1996, Penthouse Comics launched Penthouse Max, a three-issue series that brought an adult-oriented sensibility to the newsstand. Featuring work by Bob Fingerman, Keith Giffen, and Michael T. Gilbert, among others, the title blended dark humor and genre storytelling with the magazine's signature aesthetic. Though short-lived, it stands as a curious artifact of the mid-90s attempt to bridge mainstream comics with mature-reader content.
