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 surrounded by pop culture, music, movies, and comic books like The Beatles, Bond, and Batman. He continues to be involved in film and music, serving as the lead singer and guitarist for The Gear.
Comic books, however, have always been a primary source of joy for Allred, and this enthusiasm is evident in most of his work. He achieved early success with his popular Madman series, which is currently being developed for a live-action film by Robert Rodriguez. His earlier work, Grafik Muzik, was adapted into the cult hit movie G-Men from Hell, directed by Christopher Coppola.
Other notable works by Allred include Red Rocket 7, a sci-fi adventure that chronicles the history of rock and roll, the Madman spin-off The Atomics, and his ambitious project, The Golden Plates, where he illustrates the entire Book of Mormon.
Allred credits his wife and creative partner, Laura Allred, a highly regarded colorist, as the secret to his success.
