Critics Review
“I read Mike’s book and I felt better, like I actually felt good in my heart. Tell me that’s not art.”–Brian Michael Bendis “I wouldn’t be in comics if it wasn’t for Mike Allred.”–Matt Fraction

Michael Allred
Michael Allred grew up in the 60’s and 70’s surrounded by the best in pop culture, including a steady diet of music, movies, and comic books. He was particularly obsessed with the Beatles, Bond, and Batman.
It should come as no surprise that he keeps a hand in film and music, serving as the lead singer and guitarist for The Gear. However, 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 notable works include Red Rocket 7, his history of Rock and Roll told within a sci-fi adventure story, the Madman spin-off The Atomics, and his magnum opus, The Golden Plates, where he is illustrating the entire Book of Mormon.
Mike counts the secret to his success to be his wife and creative partner, Laura Allred, who is considered to be one of the best colorists in the business.
