Green Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Darker Image #1 CGC 9.8 SS is currently up to $312 with 12 bids. Very cool book. It's actually beating the Maxx 1/2 Redd that I posted a couple of days ago. (thumbs u I thought both books went pretty cheap. I bid on the B&W up to $300 and I already have one. I figured once I got knocked out that it would have had some pretty aggressive snipes, but it never moved again. You just never know. Someone got a tasty deal, methinks. Might be time for a group shot..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Someone needs to ask Sam Kieth which book he drew first... Good luck with that. That definitely falls under Frequently Ignored Questions. From Sam Kieth's blog Just for fun here's some layouts from the first Darker Image story Maxx first appeared in.

dfx1 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) wikipedia " first appearance of The Maxx was in Primer #5, published by Comico Comics.[1]" Comico Primer #5 CGC 9.8 - 1st Sam Kieth Art + 1st Appearance of The Maxx 1983 SO these are wrong.

Not sure what you are stating, but an wikia can be changed by anyone. All you have to do is create an account. That's the point of them. They are a platform to share and update information easily by the public so you don't have staff trying to do it all and paying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bringing to light the "serious" conspiracy going around about this topic. For fun, you know? To add to a cool topic. It reminds me of the confusion of Pitt's first appearance in Malibu Sun #19, or Spawn in Malibu Sun #13 but on the other side being not true about Maxx.

Yes, definitely a conspiracy. It's second on the list behind the JFK assassination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Max the Hare is MAYBE a prototype for The Maxx. Sort of like that goofy Monster Boy character in Best Cellars is a Goon prototype. They are neat books, for sure, but not 1st appearances. AGGIEZ and ygogolak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, you can list a book on feebay, change the wiki to "FIRST" appearance, and run to the bank! Edited October 8, 2018 by divad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no confusion about Pitt or Spawn's first appearances: they are in the first issue of Pitt and Spawn, respectively. A claim could be made about Pitt #1 ashcan, but until definitive proof comes out about which was published first...and Image was a hot mess in those days...then Pitt #1 is it. Malibu Sun is a preview publication, and does not contain any first appearances. The only confusion involving those is by people who own those issues, and wish to sell them for $$$, by confusing people who don't know any better into believing they are something they are not. The issue with Malibu Sun and Pitt/Spawn could not be any more different from Primer #5. Primer #5 is a comic book, containing a character, in sequential art format, created by Sam Kieth called "Max the hare", which is not....currently, mind you....the same character as the Maxx.

the blob Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This was a book (Darker Image) I used to see 20 copies of in 50 cent boxes, not long ago, and I would take a pass despite loving the character and Kieth's art. I don't see that anymore. I do see Maxx 1s occasionally. I'd think the SS getting $300+ is more about it being really hard to get Kieth's signature? The book should still be easy to find in 9.8, no?

No. Bagged, and every copy will exhibit the heat seal seam to one degree or another that has to be pressed out. Isn't that the funniest of ironies...?
