The rest is filled up with sketches and an unrelated short four page story about heroes having sex.
One thing to mention though is that only the first 53 pages out of the hundred or so are part of the Maximortal story. This book, along with a lot of Veitch’s materials, leaves you wanting more. Personally, I’ve often thought that Rick Veitch was a wildly underrated writer and author and I’m glad more of his material is being published. This tale is as much about the history of comics - specifically superhero comics - so those who aren’t familiar with it might be a little confused. Yet it still remains somehow and is reinvigorating itself through the burgeoning comic book industry, reinventing itself as True Man - an obvious Superman analog - through which it seemingly will emerge.
The government intercedes and eventually the creature is destroyed. The answer of course is that it couldn’t. At first it offered the idea that if a baby, well beyond the age of reason, had the powers like Superman does, how could a human couple possibly raise him, teach him anything, or even discipline him without getting torn apart? The original seven issue Maximortal was a very weird piece of literature. Thank goodness for the easy independent publishing market or this might never have seen the light of day. This is the continuation of a story I thought dead and incomplete.
