general84 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hey there. I ended up getting two of the Maxx 1/2 in a box of comics for Christmas. One is the purple foil variant. The other is the exact same issue, but with no writing on it at all. It has the same cover art of the Maxx 1/2, says it is the Maxx 1/2 issue on the left corner, has the same certificate of authenticity in the back of the comic, but does not say "The Maxx" or "Wizard Presents" in any way. I cannot find anything about this particular version of it, and some people I have talked to think it might have been a manufacturing error and was never printed with the purple foil on it. Does anyone know the value of something like this, or if a collector would be interested? Any information on this comic would be great. Thanks all.

Still pretty interesting. Yes, just the book missing the foil application step. It's really neat. If I got one, I'd probably try to get it signed. ▫️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macho Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The last 7 issues of this were very hard to find at a fair price. I finished my run about 7 years ago finding issue 32 and 33 about to be put in a 0.50 bin at half priced books. It must have been fate, the worker was put the yellow stickers on a stack off comics. I saw the Maxx ones in the stack, I was shocked that it had a bunch of issues, of course of the 15 issues the first 13 were all below issue 30... then, 32 and 33! So I paid a $1 a piece so the $0.50 yellow sticker didn't get put on the covers. A great day in comic collecting for me. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airmomo Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I have a Maxx 1/2 with no foil printing on it. I sent itout to cgc to get graded. I just got it back today and saw they labeled it a universal grade. I thought it would be a qualified grade do to the fact there is no foil printing on the cover. So I went to the census to check it out turns out they put it in its own category labeling it wizard presents the Maxx. Instead of putting it with the other variants of this cover. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why they would do this and get any thoughts on if this will effect thevalue of the book good or bad.

Thanks i would THINK that they didn't notice it perhaps? you could always call and let them know. i submitted a signed book to them a few years back with it COA, i figured it was going to get a green label, which means qualified. they ended up sending it back to me with a universal label. let's be honest they can and do mistakes it happens.

I don’t see this really working as a live action movie though. Should be animated like it was on MTV’s Oddities. MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be done well with a lot of CGI, but acting it would probably be a nightmare for any veteran. I always wondered why Maxx seemed to do so well animated, but Spawn was really lacking. I just didn't like it as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I remember buying bootleg dvd’s on eBay with the originally aired content which differs slightly from the official home releases that came on VHS, DVD, Amazon Video and iTunes. I’d rather they just remaster the original show in HD than make a new movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol' Sammy boy is absolutely terrible with finishing pretty much any project he starts that doesn't conform to his timelines. I think I read it in his blog that he knew the show was rushed, and he absolutely hated doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I think the show was perfection as it contained the opening and best parts of the 35 issue run. Don’t quote me but I think the show covers the first twelve issues. Much of it was a page for page translation. The story gets sloppy later in the run. The animated series ended on a high note.

Yeah that was pretty much it. They basically cut issues 14-33 right out. Barely a hint of Sarah and definitely no character development of her.

MetalPSI Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hey Ball, What do you make of that 1/2 there? Pretty neato, never seen that before. I really wish there was a way to date that particular book. Like is that a error from a purple batch, or gold? Hell, you think it could be a missing Red or Blue?

Really have no idea but like RMA said, it just missed the foil stamp process. Doubtful it was a red or blue. But no way of knowing for sure.
