Welcome to the Max Headroom Chronicles!
Max Headroom turned 30 on April 4 of this year, and that shocking anniversary was the inspiration for what you're seeing here: the early stages of a completely new and long-overdue update to the site on a modern platform.
The overall organization is complete, but there is much still to come in content and style. Everything is cross-linked, of course, and detailed additions to the linking will be an ongoing effort. Feel free to jump in anywhere and follow the connections where they take you. The top-level indexes and entry points are below.
| Cast, Crew or C-Creative? |
|---|
| Were you a part of the Max phenomenon?
A cast member, even a minor one? Crew on any of the shows? Creative who developed anything from dialogue to the entire Coke campaign? |
| I've connected with many of you; if you're not among those, I'd truly love to hear from you. Even a few comments and questions can add important material to the Project archives. I'm happy to give you your additional (or perhaps first!) due recognition, or put the material under "off the record," or any combination.
Drop me a note, right now... and thanks! |
With nearly all material transferred from the old site, I have begun begin the ongoing process of filling out these pages with additional content from the Project. A vast amount of new material is already here. The goal remains the same it has been for more than ten years: to gather together in one place every relevant detail about Max, his world and his many appearances. More than that, the purpose here is to validate all that data and strip out the endless errors, mistakes, omissions and guesses, so that what remains here is complete, reliable and, I would hope, moderately interesting to all Max fans and scholars.
This new platform has made the task of updating, expanding and correcting the contents much easier. The work continues and for a while you will run into unfinished and stub pages. Most of these have a banner at the head indicating incomplete status. Eventually, all the pages will be "complete" - but the search for more information, the addition of details and the writings about it all will continue indefinitely.
In parallel with the content, I will be evolving the style to a more Max-like one, and you might encounter some quirks as a result of that. (As Max would say, "Sorry. S-Sorry.") If you're interested in the details of what's going on here behind the scenes, you can keep an eye on the updates page. Since ev-ev-everything is an update right now, it holds a summary of the overall work process and immediate plans.
Welcome to the Max Headroom Chronicles... v3.0 and continuing.
