Both Sam Kieth's art style and plotlines shaped comics as we moved into a more grimdark take on the old heroes. Sam's comic  The Maxx  put him on the map, and his collaboration with now-notorious Neil Gaiman on  The Sandman  clinched his place in the pantheon of early 90s comics creators. And that was just the start of his career, which included a turn writing  Batman , and later included a crossover with The Maxx  as one of his final projects. Because Sam Kieth's comics deal with some heavy topics, this episode comes with a content warning for topics ranging from murder and gore to dissociative identity disorder and sexual assault. While we don't linger on these topics in-depth, they are present as a part of the discussion. If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon , where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
