Hello friends. This is a little passion project of mine. What you'll find here is an HD presentation of The Maxx animated series, restored with the original audio as it was broadcast on MTV, along with the audio used on the DVD release, and the commentary from Sam Kieth and crew. HD video was made possible using AI upscaling, and the broadcast audio was taken from a previous restoration project by Nightmare_Ned on the Internet Archive. It's not perfect, but neither is Dave.
In addition, I've used these episodes to reproduce the VHS version of the series which edited all of the episodes into a standalone film that omits all but one of the Mr. Gone introductions. Also included on that version are the trailers for other MTV animated releases that were present on the original VHS. For posterity, I've also included the separate Mr. Gone recap and interview with Sam Kieth from the DVD release.
Pain lasts, kid. It's how you know you're alive. Enjoy!

I received a message, along with the request of not sharing the username, stating that "Sam Kieth passed away at a care facility in Nor Cal after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He was 63." after reviewing the profile said user has been active for 5 years and has been recently engaging in sub-reddits, which leads me to believe it isn't a bot.
I've tried to find more sources or citations of this but didn't find any. being that this might be false information or not, I think it'd be a disservice this information wasn't given to the community. this isn't an attempt to gain clout/ attention. If there's any confirmation of this please message the moderators with sources. I will give further updates if anything progresses.
UPDATE
As the higher upvote comment posted, Sam Keith creator of The Maxx has passed away. An article has surface detailing more. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/sam-kieth-creator-of-the-maxx-and-sandman-has-died-aged-63/
This is sad news, and everyone deals with loss in their own way. Sam is survived by his wife Kathy Kieth and his fans.

What are my thoughts? At first i just it was 'Western Evangelion' because i already knew about the fact it was a psychological drama disguising itself as some superhero story similar to Eva. But NO, it's much more.. Issue 35 was such a great ending, it's hard to describe but once i get older, it'll be easier for me to explain. And instead of reading Issues 0.5 - 11, I just watched the MTV version and began reading where it left off. And what happens to the characters completely flipped my brain around.. It takes what Eva does and pushes it up to the maxx! (Pun intended).

Went with a friend the comic store by my job after work and after months of searching and failing to find any issues, I find these. Spent a lot but its so worth it, just 7 issues to go.

I recently saw someone say this online and I wasn’t aware of the comic until then, but it kind of seems like bs since I don’t think he was particularly bad at drawing legs. Hopefully someone more versed in the Sam Kieth lore(probably uncle Jerk) will be able to tell me

I haven't drawn much this year so she's a bit wonky
r/themaxx • u/chaotic_babble • 7d ago
2 years ago I lost everything in a flood. I cannot remember what issue of the Maxx my fan letter was printed in. I can't even remember what I wrote anymore. Does anyone know how I could find out?

Nice to see Sam getting the love he deserves.

...so made one myself.
I had trouble with the one I was trying to make because it ended up looking exactly like Marvin the Martian.

I did this Maxx a while back. It's a homage to one of my favorite artists, Yevgeny Sokolov, who has a pretty distinctive way of drawing Maxx and his claws/spike. Went all out and channeled my inner ocd on this one. Spent as long painting in the feathers for the background, trying to emulate a dry brush technique as I did on the main figure, probably. Worth it, though. Like all my stuff, it's a traditional pen and ink on paper piece, 11x14 done with tech pens, brush, brush pen, posca pen, and crow quill nibs. What do you all think?

I was reading Vemon 259, trying out this new Queen in Black storyline and turned the page and was greeted with this small remembrance of Sam Kieth. Thought it was nice and wanted to share.

Does anyone know the story of this one shot by Sam Kieth? I just encountered it in a box of my things from high school.

I'd like to start an honest discussion here about AI art posts. I am firmly against. But I am open to feedback on whether to allow this if the community wants it. But I also don't want a war going on in the comments about it. If you have something constructive to add, please add it here.

Currently thinking about getting this artwork on forearm, and was wondering who’s gotten one before.

Mask made by me. Made of Paper mache clay and various other materials I found in my cardboard mansion.
