truly, all i can ever associate with sam kieth is the maxx ... and the original, image-founding run, not the later mtv series or bastardized dc "reprinting."

i very much enjoyed both his writing and his art style because, at the time, at least to me, they were so incredibly out there and strange that i found them appealing. it was different than the standard norms, and to me, that was good. the maxx, both in artwork and dialog made seemingly little to no sense.

granted, after a dozen or so issues, that was proven to be, at least partially, by design. but the ride was different and fun enough to make me a fan, anyway.

other than a batman cover here and there, and that recent comic he had out there that was awful, the only other sam kieth stuff i know of is a wolverine one shot, whose name i currently forget, starring our scruffy canadian hobbit hero and an enemy who sorta looked and acted like sabretooth, except he wasnt; he was some other guy with adamantium laced fingernails ... or something.

i don't know marvel history all that well.

the book, however, was pretty cool.
