Maxx #7/1987 (19)

In *Maxx* #7 (1987), Rick Veitch crafts a haunting, visually striking tale set on the distant planet Epsilon Bootis, where human settlers oppress the native Ploo people. As broadcasts of old Earth TV shows are revered as sacred texts, Sunoco finds himself drawn to Maia, a Ploo woman, in a story that blends surreal imagery with quiet emotional weight. The issue’s stark, hand-drawn aesthetic—by Rick Veitch, who wrote, drew, inked, and colored it—anchors a narrative steeped in cultural collision and fragile connection.
