Just found out Sam Kieth died.
Damn. He was a pretty great artist.

That's pretty shit to hear. I was really into Sam Kieth's comics and especially The Maxx MTV cartoon, his stuff really resonated with me for the most part, back in my junky days. The guy was obviously tormented, with The Maxx comics eventually succumbing to pure depression porn and story dead-ends. I could never bring myself to read all of 'My Inner Bimbo,' however, and the Wolverine comic with the ghost of the little girl was frankly kind of terrible. From what I understand he got into a sexual relationship with a much older lady as a teen and it kind of fucked him up.

This makes a depressing amount of sense. Those last handful of Maxx issues were rough. To this day I can't decide whether I hate or like Mr Gone's origin story. But at least now i have some context.

Based artist that unfortunately went through the ringer

What other comics worth checking out from him other than The Maxx?
>>
>>153135005
Yeah it sucks. The Maxx helped get me through high school back in ‘94.

The Maxx TV series was good
>>
>>153135005
There was a sticky and everything, man. A few mini dumps of other comics he'd worked on and anons recognizing his style and stuff. And discovering his own fucked up life and how sad it turned out.

>>153146973
I missed it.

Read in Epicurus the Sage in his memory. Pretty neat stuff.

I was really glad to discover that the TPB has two additional tales to the ones that got published as single issues.

Damn... Guess this is what'll get me to finally check out The Maxx after hearing about it for so long. What am I in for, anons?

Crushing sadness with some funny bits. It's a way past cool comic.

An adaptation that good could've ONLY happened in the '90s. I'm grateful we got what we got.
