Lyman Dally is an illustrator and bodybuilder perhaps best known for the comic strip Max Rep: Mr. Astrotitan 2206 appearing in FLEX and Muscular Development in the 90's for over a decade until its cancellation, though Dally continued to illustrate articles for MD through 2007. After the cancellation he created the comic book Max Rep in the Age of Astrotitans through Dumbbell Press, an independent comic book publishing company he owned and operated. The comic book had a run of two issues and was reviewed by comics critic Beth Hannan Rimmels in the 4/30/98 issue of the Long Island Voice. The Max Rep series and its female protagonist, Quadra Blu, continue to be discussion topics in bodybuilding chat rooms.

In recent years Dally has moved beyond the bodybuilding industry, most notably as a fine artist exploring his other passion, fine wine. His painting Red Overheadwon First Place in the Oil/Actylic Painting category at the 10th Annual Gaelen Juried Art Show & Sale.

Dally's latest comic strip, Living With Les, about a laid-off Wall Streeter forced to move back in with his parents, was launched in early 2009, and is building a following of fans both employed and unemployed.
