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!

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:
Batman 126 - Curt Swan
















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.
