Pairs well with: later Madman collections, as well as other work by Mike Allred. I dug the hell out of it and plan on completing it by collecting all the floppies out there.īut that could take some time and I don’t want to hold off on jumping into volume two, which I will do in the very near future. Madman is energetic, endearing and just a really cool comic. I let my friend’s kid read this as well and she thought it was pretty damn funny even for modern teenager standards. While Madman is a product of the ’90s comic book industry, it feels timeless. In some ways, it reminded me of the experience I had reading Rob Schrab’s Scud: The Disposable Assassin or Doug TenNapel’s Creature Tech. Regardless of the presentation, both stories that were included here were a lot of fun and the art was pulpy and terrific.Īllred has a good sense of humor that works well for the character and this series. The second arc is in full, vibrant color. The first story is in black and white with nice grayish blue shading.

I figured I’d check out the first collected volume, which collects his first two miniseries. I never had a complete story arc, however, so I never got to give it a real read. I’ve had a few issues of Mike Allred’s Madman in my comic collection since the ’90s.
