Take a Moment to Appreciate All 35 Covers of The Maxx Comic Book Series

There was a time—before corporate meddling, endless reboots, and soulless cash grabs—when truly original and bizarrely beautiful stories thrived. That time was called the '90s. If you were lucky enough to catch The Maxx on MTV's Liquid Television, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Nestled between Æon Flux and The Head, this surreal fever dream of a show was something else entirely—strange, unsettling, yet unexpectedly heartfelt.

For those who never experienced it, The Maxx followed a massive purple superhero who protected his Jungle Queen… except he was also just a homeless man in a dirty alleyway, struggling with trauma, mental illness, and an unspoken love for his social worker. It was weird, it was profound, and it was unlike anything else.

But before the show, there was the comic book series by Sam Kieth, and The Maxx comic covers were something special. Bold, dynamic, and completely unique, each of the 35 covers reflected the raw, untamed creativity of the era. So take a moment to soak in all 35 covers—a testament to a time when artists were free to be as weird, wild, and wonderful as they wanted.
