Comic: Can Humor Help Solve Problems? | March 2026

Comic artist Sam Kieth, known for his work on titles like The Maxx and Epicurus the Hedgehog, has died at the age of 62, according to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The announcement was made on March 24, 2026, by Cool Comic Art.

Kieth’s career spanned decades, and he was recognized for his distinctive and often surreal artistic style. The X post described him as someone who “showed us that weirder is better.”

Beyond his creator-owned work, Kieth contributed to major comic book publishers. His influence extended to the independent comic scene, as evidenced by Impound Comics, an indie superhero universe that operates through digital and physical comic books, children’s books, and a variety of online platforms including Webtoons, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Impound Comics also maintains a presence on Discord and Substack, and hosts a podcast.

Impound Comics, based in Sacramento, California, has built a growing fanbase with its original characters and stories. The company also produces NFT’s and is actively growing, with 74 followers on LinkedIn as of March 25, 2026.

Luann Comic continues to be published daily, with a retro archive also available online, according to its Facebook page.
