Max

Stepping out of the early 1990s Marvel Comics ring, Max made their debut in WCW World Championship Wrestling #3 (1992), brought to life by Mike Lackey and Ron Wilson during that energetic Copper/Modern Age moment when professional wrestling and comics collided in gloriously loud fashion. With only seven catalogued appearances, Max is a compact presence in this short-lived but fondly remembered series — yet those appearances put them squarely in some wild company, sharing pages with larger-than-life figures like Sting, Arn Anderson, Cactus Jack, and The Ghoul. For collectors hunting the full breadth of Marvel's licensed titles from the early '90s, Max is exactly the kind of hidden corner character that makes digging through back-issue bins such a rewarding adventure.
