About the series
From 2003 to 2006, DC Comics published this six-issue revival of Sam Kieth's surreal, psychologically charged series, with Kieth joined by writers William Messner-Loebs and Alan Moore. The book expands the strange, dreamlike world of the Maxx, a hulking purple hero navigating the blurred lines between reality and the Outback, a dark psychic landscape. With Kieth's distinctive, expressionistic art and Dave Feiss's contributions, this run deepened the series' exploration of trauma, identity, and the monsters within. It stands as a key chapter for fans of Kieth's idiosyncratic vision and the 1990s indie comics scene that first spawned the character.
