Rick Veitch satirized blood-thirsty comic fans who killed Jason Todd, feminazis and commercialization of your childhood heroes.

>The "King Hell Heroica" is the collective name for an unfinished series of inter-connected super-hero comics created and published by Rick Veitch, starting with BRAT PACK in 1990 (retroactively Book Four) and continuing through THE MAXIMORTAL (Book One) before ending, for now, with two issues of the BRAT PACK / MAXIMORTAL SUPER SPECIAL in 1996/1997. The specials outline the projected full Heroica at the time, including two more books set between the existing books (BOY MAXIMORTAL (Book Two) and TRUE-MAN, THE MAXIMORTAL (Book Three)) and several more specials providing a meta-textual bridging structure and final conclusion to be collected as Book Five of the Heroica.
>Rick Veitch's fierce and darkly comic BRATPACK has long been considered a subterranean classic of the genre. Veitch's no-holds-barred dissection of the hoary old 'kid sidekick' phenomena is as harrowing as it is hilarious; subversively subtle yet completely over the top. BRATPACK is an edgy and unforgettable dance macabre that is a must for every graphic novel collection. This comic is a companion volume to Rick Veitch's THE MAXIMORTAL and was nominated for "Best Graphic Album" in the Eisner Awards in 1995.
>Seven years before The Amazing Adventures of Kavelier and Clay, Rick Veitch married the larcenous history of the comics business to the outrageous themes and characters of his infamous Brat Pack universe, creating one of the most startling and uncompromising visions of the super-hero archetype ever put to paper. The Maximortal tells the origin of the ultimate heroic idea made flesh, and its hidden impact on 20th century history. Beginning with a thunderous explosion over the Siberian subcontinent, through the atomic devastation of Hiroshima and beyond, The Maximortal is a true epic told through the astonishing stories of the human beings caught in its ever-widening wake.

About Boy Maximortal:

>Here’s something no one has ever seen. It’s a page from the opening sequence to BOY MAXIMORTAL, which was meant to be the follow-up to THE MAXIMORTAL. It involves two 60’s era college students, GILBERT SHELDON and S. CLAY WILLIAMS swapping comic books for peyote (and more) in the Sonoran Desert. Yes, yes–I know I need to get back into this and finish it. But I need a patron!

Well, maybe a miracle will happen.
