mike allred's madman/ comic

Michael 'Doc' 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.

Who are the Atomics?
A group of Street Beatniks mutated by alien spores that gave them unique powers.


Where did Madman first appear and who is this Frank Einstein person anyway?
Frank Einstein first appeared almost simultaneously in Creatures Of The Id and Grafik Muzik, I then put a costume on him for the first three-issue series MADMAN and it took off from there.

Ella y el resto de sus compañeros de clase entraron en una discusión con su maestro. Él dijo que pensaba que el arte era para unos pocos, y el resto del grupo incluida mi tía pensaban lo contrario. Para respaldar su teoría el maestro expuso el caso de un reciente 'experimento' realizado en estados unidos donde pusieron a tocar a uno de los mejores violinistas, y nadie se detuvo a escucharlo probando así que la humanidad a tocado fondo. No recuerdo bien que respondí, cuando me preguntaba que opinaba del caso. El maestro debió de haberse referido al arte en particular, dije, a ese de catálogos, de museos, subastas y ferias de arte, y no se referia a las artes en general. No es que defendiera al maestro desconocido para mi, o que pensara como él que el arte no es para todos. Pero si el maes...
