Synopsis:
Maxx is a purple-clad superhero living in a cardboard box. His only friend is Julie Winters, a freelance social worker. Maxx often finds himself shifting back and forth between the "real" world and a more primitive outback world where he rules, and protects Julie. Mr. Gone, a self-proclaimed "student of the mystic arts" seems to know more about Maxx and Julie and their strange relationship than they could ever guess, but he's not exactly telling all….not yet, anyway.

The comic book series was adapted into an animated series as part of the MTV program Oddities. It covered Darker Image #1, The Maxx #1/2, and issues #1-11 of the regular series, depicting the introduction of Julie, the original Maxx, Mr. Gone, and, later, Sarah. The series included few of the revelations of the characters' origins, however, and did not describe the interconnections between them. The animation is very pastiche as it varies from scene to scene. Much like Keith's style, of which the series borrows from directly, styles can move from the grainy, more real looking forms of most scenes, to very cartoony styles where Maxx' eyes grow and the characters are simplified, to child drawings, such as the sketches by young Julie in the 'Mr. Gone Tells a Story' segment. Early on in the series, when Maxx is arrested for attacking Fridge and his cohort, the Maxx is in the backseat of the police car and the police are live actors whose features have been blacked out and put over top of the animated sequence of Maxx falling over. Before Julie leaves there is a brief scene done in CGI of a plane taking off. In each scene the animation can vary from comic-like story-boarding to full fledged animation.
