The COMPLETE 13 EPISODES on DVD!!

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 Maxx, a homeless man in a purple superhero costume, attempts to rescue a theatre patron from a pair of thugs. However, the police appear quickly and arrest him. The thugs meanwhile escape, and their victim is assaulted by Mr. Gone, a shadowy figure in a black cape. Julie Winters, the Maxx's freelance social worker, bails him out of prison. Meanwhile, Maxx's hallucinatory adventures in the outback are briefly touched on.
