About the author
Mike Allred
725 books177 followersMichael 'Doc' Allred (Also Credited as M. Dalton Allred) grew up in the 60's and 70's and was surrounded with the best in pop culture and a steady diet of music, movies and comic books including the three B's: Beatles, Bond and Batman to the point of obsession.
So it should come as no surprise that he keeps a hand in film and music (He's the lead singer and guitarist for The Gear), but comic books have always been a seminal source of joy for Mike and that joy remains the main ingredient in most of his work.
Allred first tasted success in the comics field with his wildly popular MADMAN series, which is currently being developed for a live action film with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. His earlier work from GRAFIK MUZIK was turned into the cult hit movie G-Men from Hell directed by Christopher Coppola (featuring Robert Goulet as the Devil). Other work includes Red Rocket 7, his history of Rock and Roll told in the context of a sci-fi adventure storyl the Madman spin-off THE ATOMICS and his magnum opus, THE GOLDEN PLATES, where he's illustrating the entire Book of Mormon.
Mike counts the secret to his success to be his wife, and creative partner, Laura Allred, who is is considered to be one of the best colorists in the business.

Madman volume one collects Madman 1-3 and Madman Adventures 1-3.
In a lot of ways, the 1990s sucked for comics. Style over substance and gimmicks were the norm. Because of speculators, the market swelled and almost died. It will never be what it once was. However, comics in the 1990s did have some bright spots.
I first encountered Madman on the school bus sometime around 1993. A friend of mine had Madman Adventures #1 and was gushing about it. After I got tired of making fun of him for not being into X-Force like the rest of us, I gave it a chance and was instantly a fan.
The last time I read these was before the turn of the century so it was almost like rediscovering Madman for the first time. Madman helps bring his creator back to life, meets a lovely girl, goes back in time, runs from dinosaurs, and encounters an alien. It's all more complex than that, of course. Basically, it's Michael Allred's love letter to the comics of his youth.
Madman isn't a gun-toting bad ass like most of his 1990s contemporaries. He's sensitive and has low self esteem. He wears his costume mostly to hide from himself, a more thought-out throwback to the Lee and Kirby days.
The art is as gorgeous now as it was the bygone day I first saw it. It's no wonder most of the comics I read this year had Michael Allred art. Love for the medium is apparent in every panel.
Coincidentally, Madman is featured in one of my favorite panels of all time:
Madman is one of the few comics from the 1990s that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

For such a popular character, it’s a frustrating and troublesome process following Madman’s chronology over numerous different publishers and several books labelled ‘Volume one’. Well, this is the ur book, Madman’s first prolonged costumed appearances, combining what was previously issued as The Oddity Odyssey and Madman Adventures.
Laura Allred’s bright colours are such an integral constituent of Madman that it’s strange to crack this book open and discover that Frank Einstein’s first adventure was in black, white and grey. Other oddities that were wrinkled out include a costume hood that covers his entire head and a tendency toward the gruesome later completely excised. If you want to see Madman removing an eyeball and sticking it in his mouth, this is the one time only opportunity.
What’s astounding, however, is how much Michael Allred managed to hit the right note first time out. Despite the missteps into horror, the light and whimsical eccentricity is there, Madman conceiving unconventional solutions to dangerous situations, and the generosity of his spirit shining through. Allred the artist is also near fully formed. As with any top talent, he can surely point to a few panels that didn’t turn out as expected, and he hasn’t quite evolved the cartooning that would be associated with Madman, but for what was only his second long-form story, it’s some achievement.
Madman is never referred to as such. He’s Frank Einstein, returned to life by a nutty scientist, but left lacking any memory of his previous life, with a strange skin colour and a large scar across his forehead. In what’s unusual for the dramatic elements of superhero comics, his condition matters not at all to Joe Lombard, and for the remainder of the series theirs will be a mutual love untainted by tawdry soap opera plot considerations. Madman’s first outing requires he track down a Dr. Flem in order to save the life of Doctor Boiffard, the nutty scientist who saved him. It’s a discursive, but always entertaining mission.
The consequences of unfettered experimentation by visionary scientific engineers is a regular feature of the series, and results in Madman being deposited in prehistoric times. By the colour feature Allred’s made a few tweaks and the result is Madman as he’s been ever since. There’s the resolutely positive nature, colour pages and a joyful regurgitation of pop culture and scientific wonder. A final presentation sees Allred release his experimental side as dreams and hallucinations feature heavily in what’s an amazing artistic showcase, but less satisfying in story terms. It doesn’t matter in the greater context as Allred has now found his magical formula, and Madman has taken flight.
A fantastic bonus section should also be mentioned. Allred asked dozens of comic creators for a pin-up, and they responded incredibly enthusiastically. The roll call is a who’s who of comics. Genuinely. We have legends Jack Kirby, Alex Toth and Barry Windsor Smith, the hot turks of the early 1990s Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane and Marc Silvestri, the contemporary independent darlings Dan Clowes, Gilbert Hernandez and Jaime Hernandez, the classical stylings of Frank Frazetta, Michael Kaluta and Charles Vess… and loads more people, equally good.

Brilliant.
This was the first time I have ever read this series and I loved it. It reminded me of classic super hero stories while also being its own thing entirely. I hope to read the rest but didn't realize how much story there actually is. It did make me want to read his silver surfer though.

I honestly think MADMAN is what comics should be most of the time: silly, fun, well drawn, an interesting story in an interesting world. Michael Allred manages to do all these things. His own interests and passions show through- 50s and 60s psychedelia, pop culture, pulp sci-fi, rockabilly, cheese cake pinups...
It's a total mash up of weird and wonderful stuff and a good introduction to Madman.
As a note, while I did use the book scanner on the Goodreads iPhone app, the pictured edition is not the one I have. Mine is "Michael Allred's MADMAN Volume 1". It contains the first three issues of MADMAN and the first three issues of MADMAN Adventures. It also has different cover art that shown here on Goodreads. I'll try and add the correct edition if I can.

Original and hilarious. Beatific magniloquence!

Not the best Allred writing or art, it shouldn't be expected to be, it's his beginnings. However this comic really got me. It may be my new favorite.
March 6, 2022
Безумная, взбалмошная серия, галопом скачущая по всем жанрам сразу — старомодный детектив, старомодная фантастика, старомодные приключения, старомодная романтика — и всё это написано будто бы так, как семилетний ребёнок представляет себе взрослые сюжеты. Вплоть до характерной тупизны диалогов с намеренными (как мне кажется) ошибками.
Главный герой — эдакий Дедпул, только ещё более умственно-отсталый и променявший сарказм на долю трагичного флёра. Во всём первом томе мне понравился только вот один изобретательный разворот. Впрочем, у серии есть своё странное юношеское очарование, и я частично понимаю тех, кому такое нравится. Опять же, может, дальше повествование раскачается, но у меня лично продираться нет сил.

I forgot just how fun this book was, and super weird. I haven't ever really been a fan of Allred's art but I like how rough it is here.

I read some Madman Atomic comics recently and loved it so much I decided to start with the earlier Madman series. This stuff isn't as out there as Madman Atomic, but it's still great fun. It's a poppy trip through the sorts of stories that would fill some sci-fi and adventure comics of the 1960s revolving around a zany central character, with occasional diversions into what I can only describe as existential anguish. If, like me, the cartoon Freakazoid made a tremendous impression on your adolescent mind, you should check out this comic which was a major inspiration (bordering on copyright infringement) for Freakazoid. I'm looking forward to picking up volume 2.

I really enjoyed this first volume! Madman is a very complex and hilarious character. He reminds me of myself. :-)

Hard to describe what makes this special, but there’s a certain charming quirky magic here that makes this wonderful.
Read
September 13, 2020Since getting into comics, I’ve grown to love Michael Allred’s art. I’m delighted whenever I see one of his covers, and the sequential work I’ve read from him (and Laura!) is absolutely wonderful. Needless to say his signature comic, Madman, has been on my radar for some time. And after reading the first volume I can say it’s everything I hoped it would be.
Madman is very much in the spirit of Jack Kirby: an ode to imagination, heroism, and also weirdness. This is the type of Pop Art comic I’ve come to know Allred for. I wasn’t reading comics in the 90s but I can tell that Madman was a welcome antidote to the grim ‘n’ gritty seriousness of the era. I love the Silver Agey sense of adventure here, though Allred takes from other sources, like Frankenstein and pulp fiction.
This volume collects the first Madman series and first three issues of Madman Adventures. The miniseries is an origin of sorts and, while less vibrant without Laura’s colors, nevertheless has a zany vibe. Madman’s supporting cast is introduced as he tries to piece together his past while encountering a serial killer, clones, and a devious scientist. It’s wacky stuff and I love it. Laura hops on to Adventures, which is more episodic in nature. Madman travels back in time to the Jurassic Era where he meets an old lady and her robot, and later comes across aliens and mysterious artifact. In between it all, he yearns to spend time with his girlfriend, Joe. I like how Allred puts forth ruminations on life, death, and the universe throughout the series. This is where Madman reminds me a great deal of Kirby, who similarly tackles big questions in his work.
All in all, this was a blast. It’s undeniably and Allred comic, and that’s what I love about. If only more comics were this fun and creative.
Also, can I say how insane the pinup credits are? It’s a fucking who’s who of comics artists. Kirby, Alex Toth, Barry Windsor-Smith, Moebius, Dave Stevens, Jim Lee, the Hernandez brothers, Bruce Timm, Paul Pope, Charles Vess, P. Craig Russell, Walt Simonson, Bill Sienkiewicz, John Byrne, Darwyn Cooke... the list goes on. Everyone must have loved Madman when it came out!

I thought that Madman was an enticing book with interesting (male) characters. Unfortunate however that it feels very male-gazey- unsure if that was on purpose. I loved the situations that characters found themselves in, and all of the male characters were interesting. This was a bummer because the women were all either objects or seen through the gaze of male fantasy, which just didn’t sit right with me. They had no REAL intelligence. Even when they were “learning something” it was just how to do something for the men. But, other than that, I enjoyed the stories. They were fun and quick, but layered and deep. Good read.

It's cute and then he's eating eyeballs and ripping people's hearts out so... it's really utter madness I suppose. If you like a cartoonish style that can have both super campy and randomly mature themes, this is exactly what you're looking for.
I can't decide how I feel about it, it surprises me too much from one page to the next, but it's pretty fun in that way.

Mike Allred’s work has always been something I’ve loved. His Silver Surfer is among one of my all time favorite marvel runs, it’s definitely a favorite of the more modern books. Madman however, is his breakout creator owned series and book 1 definitely kicks off the series strong.
It’s an ode to the silver age style of storytelling while also feeling modern and fresh.

Read a little of Allred’s more mainstream stuff. Always wanted to read his Madman stuff.
This is pretty weird. Even more than I expected. The first three issues weren’t great. But then the third three issues got a little better.

I love the artwork of Mike and Laura Allred and I dig the design work and general concept of their Madman comics, and I always remember liking them better than I actually do because of that. They look amazing, but the stories' psychedelic flights of sugar-frosted fancy often lose me in the end.
December 13, 2022
For story it's closer to a 3 but the art is so dang good. Basically this guy becomes a zombie in a way and goes on zanny adventures. The first 3 issues are great filled with alot of funny moments. Second set of 3 issues the story after issue 1 runs dry quick but the art is amazing. A 4 out of 5.
June 22, 2023
A great start to a unique character. There is grittiness to the first arc that softens as the series goes on, in the best way possible. The second series adds the wonderful colors of Michael’s wife, Laura, and the entire series springs to life.

I'm a MADMAN
July 3, 2015
I'm a huge fan of comic books in general, and read many different kinds: superhero, mystery/horror, independent, etc. As an artist, myself, I've always said the art has to be good for me to like a comic. I'll take bad story and good art over the reverse, any day. As long as the story isn't totally boring or stupid I'll probably be ok with it. I had heard about Mike Allread from various sources and figured I had to give him a try. I already had the first volume of iZombie, which he did the artwork for.
So, first the positives. I really like the artwork. Mike's style is very nice, without trying to be really different or stylized. I especially love the colors, which I believe his wife does. Vibrant, bright colors. The style is similar to what you'd see in the comics before the mid 90's or so, when printing technology allowed for much more complex coloring. However, I don't like the heavily-rendered look, I prefer the more basic approach, probably because that's what I grew up on.
Now for the negatives. The story and setting are a bit odd, and just never pulled me in. Later in the book the story becomes very random and out there. Just weird and bizarre. Not sure how else to explain it. And the dialogue is pretty goofy at times. It has its funny moments, but overall it just was a little too weird for me and I couldn't get into it. I barely finished the book, only skimming the last ten pages or so. I doubt I'll be reading any more of them.

Stunningly perfect anatomy, absolutely graceful formatting and panel composition, combined with a bizarrely existential superhero. The dialogue is engaging, the stories unpredictable and mad-cap.
I would love a little more insight into the motivations and back-stories behind the flock of mad-scientists that fuel the plot, not to mention a number of all-too-agreeable female characters, who unfortunately are just lovely window dressings in this first volume; typical in hero-comics, but hardly an excuse in the 90s. The Jim-Carry-esque physicality of the character, combined with a text that balances both poetic depth and comedy, make up for the fact that the only fully formed character, ironically, is a madman, with no memory of his past.

Fantastic. I wanted to read this once I remembered that the X-Force/X-Statix Michael Allred was famous for doing something else. This is not as engaged with society or anything like that, but boy is it very, very good.
Everyone is so strange and everything works out so well for Madman, but there is a real emotional arc to each long and engaging sotry.
There was a little bit of a weird feeling in that I was reading Madman's dialogue in the voice of Paul Rugg. The blue skin, shock of hair, right coloring, and lightning bolt motif . . . .
But that sensibility is different. I am not sure why. I wish I could distinguish the moods and tones.

What a relief. "Madman", such a nice road trip. I don't want to reveal anything from this one, but I will just say that the book is full of cultural references. Main character's name Frank Einstein comes from the mix of Albert Einstein and Frank Sinatra.
Story is somewhere between these two. It's completely nuts. I like nuts. There is so much broody comics out there. It's nice to see groovy instead of broody.
I recommend it to those who will appreciate the change.

This is a really trip superhero story that is strongly influenced by the sic-fi pulp serials of the 1950s. A lot of really weird things happen that a quite entertaining to read. The first half of the book is in black-and-white and the second half is in color. The black-and-white stories are really out there and a bit bloody at times. This is a good read for those who like quirky stories.

I don't know if I've selected the right book to review from the Goodreads site. I think this is it... The book that I read was Madman, Volume 1 from Image Comics.
The book was good, I'd never read Madman before. It makes me curious for future volumes, but really didn't blow me away...

I would give four stars to the the black and white Madman stories, two and a half stars to the color Madman Adventure ones. There's something about the tone of the earlier stories that I really liked that I thought was missing in the zanier, bigger adventures.
