A comic by Sam Kieth, something of a parody on the stereotypical superhero story. Extremely confusing, yet equally awesome, the comic was so good that, when made into a show on MTV, it was decided to have too much quality and was cancelled, just like all the other good shows on that network. The Maxx was a deluded homeless man who believed himself to be a superhero, and deemed himself the protector of a social worker named Julie Winters. Constantly moving between two realities -- our world, and one called "The Outback" -- Maxx became increasingly confused about his own identity, and as it would turn out the only one with the answers was the serial rapist and murdering sorcerer Mr. Gone, his sworn enemy. Damndest thing.

On old TV show originated in 1994 on MTV occasionly showed after or before such shows as The Head, or Aeon Flux. The Maxx is a plumber name Dave who was cross-joined with a girl named Julie winters who was raped a while back by a man named Mr. Gone who has inhabited the world as we know it with the dark IZ brought from pangea. only to make it so that Julie does not bring up her past. The Maxx however must help julie to overcome her fear and reach her inner child. Whilst being fused with her Outback (Place to get away from it all) and sees her as his leopard queen. The show was cancelled in late 94 due to mass confusion by the audience. So Sam Keith (writer artist) closed the project and skipped right to the last episode. Thus confusing the people more.
