MADMAN SPECIAL SNEAK PEEK!

Although the contest is over, I thought some of you still

might enjoy seeing this "censored" panel which happens 

immediately before the previous teaser I posted.  All 

set for an early April release, so you can start counting

the days to solve this particular mystery (and get struck

with several others) in the MADMAN GIANT-SIZE 

SUPER-GINCHY SPECIAL!  I'll be regularly posting 

other sneak peeks and teasers of pin-ups, my story, and 

the three crazy cool backup stories...so tell your friends 

and check back often!  It's gonna be SWELL!

MADMAN:ATOMICA IN PRINT!

We worked long and hard to make this 

companion to MADMAN: Gargantua 

the best it could be.  Over-sized and 

over 1000 pages, this baby is now 

printed and should be on shelves by 

March 16th.  It contains the entire 

Atomics series, the It Girl, Mr. Gum 

& Spaceman one-shots, the entire 

MADMAN Atomic Comics series 

and more extras than you can shake 

a stick at (but why would you do 

that?).  Mark your calendars Kiddies!

RAPHAEL ALBUQUERQUE!

Here's another sneak peek from this 

April's MADMAN GIANT-SIZE 

SUPER-GINCHY SPECIAL!  

This time a partial look at Raphael 

Albuquerque's piece! 

NEW TWITTER AVATAR!

Follow me@AllredMD on twitter.  Just follow

all the latest posts which I dig sharing with you.

LAURA ALLRED'S STUDIO!

Here's a glimpse of Laura's studio space where she 

controls my universe like the bridge of the Starship

Enterprise.  She watches my every move below her...

...like so, but here I'm watching her...OOH-WEE-OOH!

WHAT'S IN FRANK'S PANTS CONTEST!

Working hard in my "Non-Zombie" free time to finish

up my story for April's MADMAN Giant-Size Super

Ginchy Special!  Here are a couple samples of my 

most recent Madman art.  The pencils just came off 

the drawing board moments ago.  I thought it might

be fun to have a contest where you can try to guess 

what has found its way into Frank "Madman" Einstein's 

pants.  The first correct guess (VERY unlikely) will 

win a HC book signed by Laura and yours truly. 

Everyone else will have to wait until April to find out.

BATMAN and KEV!

I was tasked with doing my "cover"

of the cover to Batman 126.  Here tis:

And this little number is 

a partial preview to the 

cover of an upcoming

comic book by our friend

Chad Blakely (you can 

see the full inked version

on my desk in the studio

photo posted yesterday).

TOMORROW:

NEW MADMAN ART!

ALLRED MAGIC!

Bestest buddy, Darwyn Cooke, suggested I add some

"behind the pages" kind of stuff so I threw together this

little slide show compiling the last couple years. I mostly

use a Flip Cam now, so I don't have single shots of a

lot of the folks and experiences I'd like to show here.

But for now here are some snaps of our adventures with

friends and family including doing THE Casa Bonita

and Red Rocks with first collaborator Steve Seagle,

tearing up Montreal with Dar & Mar, Courtney Taylor

and Laura in the electric Tesla sports car, recording

"Nasty Snack" at the Dandy Warhol's Odditorium,

hiding in a dark scary bar with Al Columbia, a post-

Barcelona reunion with Craig Thompson and Kelby,

in Manhattan with the Bonds, the David Bowie bust I

made and gave to Shelly Bond, and drinking some

Moloko Plus with dance machine and Droog David Mack.

Also childhood heroes, Peter Brady, Batman, and a Monkee!

Look for Paolo Rivera, Joe Quinones, Maris Wicks,

Scott Adsit, Brian Huberd, Eric Stephenson, Joe Keatinge,

our kids, our kid's kids, Karen Berger, Dr. Ben Saunders,

Bernie Mireault, and a guy named Jamie S. Rich who

frightens children even though he smells just like candy.

(New) STUDIO ALLRED!

One of the best things about living in Portland this past 

year was actually moving back home to the coast after

a renovation which allowed me my dream studio space.

MAD MACK PROCESS!

David Mack shared some process 

photos of his Madman strip for the 

MADMAN 20th Anniversary Monster! 

And I made a little animation of his

 Madman lightbulb figures...

I, ZOMBIE!

I know others have named other
covers as their favorite in this run,
but this is my personal favorite
(other than the cover to iZ no.14
which I'm finishing right now).
And if you feel it's worthy please
vote for it here:
http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/nominations/
But especially please consider Chris
Roberson for his excellent and
subtly innovative scripting and
Laura who is doing her best coloring
work ever! They deserve any and all kudos!

TWITTERED!

FUTURE SHOCK!  I'm not even 

sure what is it exactly, but I just 

joined twitter (@AllredMD).  Peer 

pressure I guess.  And since I'm 

posting, lemme throw in this book 

cover art I did that hasn't come out 

yet written by the curator of the 

U of O's museum, Dr. Ben Saunders!

Wonder Woman Makeup!

I did some art for MAC Cosmetics that is now in full 

swing.  In fact, they created some nifty animation that 

you can see here: http://www.maccosmetics.com/

THE GRAND PRIZE!

Well, we got a winner!  The artist is 

best bud, Darwyn Cooke!  And even 

being pals, I wouldn't have guessed 

that that was his work. Surprisingly, 

the winning guess came fast with the 

third guess.  How'd you do that?  

Insider info?  Have you seen Dar do 

something else like that?  Just lucky?  

Well, send us your address to 

madmail@aaapop.com  so we can 

send you your prize.  It's a very rare 

Limited Edition of the Madman Picture 

Exhibition with pin-ups from an 

amazing crew of over 100 artists 

including legends like Frank Frazetta 

and Moebius to current superstars like 

Darwyn.  We have a couple more of

these gems, so watch for more contests.
