Courtesy Amazon Sam Kieth, the comic book creator of “The Maxx” and co-creator of “Sandman,” died March 15. He was 63.
Kieth’s lifelong friend and collaborator Scott Dunbier confirmed that the artist died of Lewy Body Dementia to Bleeding Cool.
Born on January 11, 1963, Kieth began his career in comics at the age of 17, publishing his first work with Comico. He worked on numerous projects, including “Wolverine” in Marvel Comics Presents and “The Hulk.” In 1993, he created a series exploring themes of identity and reality for Image Comics titled “The Maxx,” which was later adapted into an animated series for MTV’s “Liquid Television” and became globally recognized. Kieth’s work on the series also led to a line of action figures produced by Todd McFarlane.
