History
The first series to be published under the Max imprint is the now finished Alias. Several new series were then created specially for the Max imprint, such as Apache Skies and Haunt of Horror, while the majority of its publications were based around existing Marvel characters, such as Howard the Duck, Devil-Slayer and Rawhide Kid.
Former Marvel President and chairman Stan Lee has openly criticized the Max imprint. Referring to the Fury miniseries, based on the character Nick Fury, which he co-created, Lee said, "I don't know why they're doing that. I don't think that I would do those kinds of stories."

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
