THE MAXX delves into the dual existence of a homeless man who perceives himself as a superhero, navigating between the gritty streets of the real world and the expansive landscapes of the Outback—a realm born from his imagination. In this alternate reality, he protects Julie Winters, a freelance social worker, from various threats. Sam Kieth’s storytelling, combined with his distinctive art style, offers a narrative that challenges traditional superhero conventions, exploring themes of reality, identity, and the power of the subconscious mind. This volume collects the initial issues of the series, inviting readers into a world where the lines between fantasy and reality blur. Comic, Sam Kieth, Image, 1995 Image 978-1887279000 Sam Kieth 1995
