Critics Review
“It’s like a pill, that’s a bitter pill, that’s sweet, sweetly coated and easy to swallow.“—Craig Thompson
“I wouldn’t be in comics if it wasn’t for Mike Allred.”—Matt Fraction
“Madman is my favorite comic ever, for sure.”—Nick Derington
“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
Michael Allred
Michael Allred grew up in the 60s and 70s, surrounded by the best in pop culture. A steady diet of music, movies, and comic books, particularly the Beatles, Bond, and Batman, fueled his creativity to the point of obsession.
It’s no surprise, then, that he remains involved in film and music, even serving as the lead singer and guitarist for the band 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, Grafik Muzik, was turned into the cult hit movie G-Men from Hell, directed by Christopher Coppola. Other notable works include Red Rocket 7, a history of rock and roll told through a sci-fi adventure story, the Madman spin-off The Atomics, and his magnum opus, The Golden Plates, where he illustrates the entire Book of Mormon.
Mike credits his wife and creative partner, Laura Allred, as the secret to his success. Laura is widely considered one of the best colorists in the business.
