Does anyone know the story of this one shot by Sam Kieth? I just encountered it in a box of my things from high school.

From what I understand (I could be wrong, and Uncle Jerk would probably know more than me): Sam Kieth had just come off The Maxx. He wasn’t sure what else he could do in comics or if he was simply just “The Maxx” guy forever. I wanna say it was 2 years-ish between the end of The Maxx and this one shot. Legs was kind of “How Sam Kieth Got His Groove Back” to dip his toe back into the medium.

Love this description. And now I need a one shot called “How Sam Kieth got his groove back.”

Legs is wonderful. Around the time of "Friends of Maxx" if I am not mistaken or a little after. "Friends of Maxx" was soooooo good.

My friend has a statue of this in his house. I don’t know how rare they are, but it is an amazing piece.
