I had a friend who didn't get The Maxx.  He found it odd because he
was in the buisness of selling comic books and all of the customers
that he really respected the opinions of loved it but he couldn't
figure out why.  I asked him if he had all of he issues that had come
out at that point (someplace near 14) and he said yes.  I told him to
go home and read them all from cover to cover, including the letters
sections.  The next time I saw him he said he was completely into it
now and that he did get it.  

I understood why he didn't get it at first.  You couldn't read one
book and know what was going on.  I hadn't read comics for a few years
as they had gone in the toilet with bad stories and art work that had
no soul at all.  Then a friend of mine came up with Darker Image #1
(there was never a #2) and showed me the pic of Julie Witers with her
bell bottems, tube top and pot belly.  That was like nothing had ever
seen in comics for some time.  So I read it and had no idea what was
going on.  I was hooked.  Finally a comic with new art work, a complex
storyline that was not about taking down the bad guy.  I knew it
couldn't last forever, none of my favorits do, but I was happy with it
while it lasted.

> Pitt was awesome also.

Never got into pit.
