PREVIEW THE GEAR!
You can preview both albums from THE GEAR fer
free! Learn the songs so you can sing along when we
appear at a venue near you (available for private parties)!
Son Of Red Rocket 7 can be heard here (hear):
And Left Of Center Of The Universe can be heard here (hear):
Or search by ALBUM TITLE (to avoid impostors) on iTunes
and get massive 90 second previews! Much better than the snippets above.
Also, PLEASE review the albums if you are so inclined
and kind. And if you want to get some idea of what
we sound like live, lie naked in a field at midnight with the
music playing through 100 stereos circling you at MAX VOLUME.

CALAMITY OF CHALLENGE!
I just finished this piece where Frank
"Madman" Einstein conducts a dance
party for Matthew Allison's characters
from CALAMITY OF CHALLENGE,
his upcoming comic that blows my mind
with what is pure Rock n Roll on paper.
Matt's art is unfiltered catharsis and kinetic
monster love. It reminds me of the kind
of stuff that would spill out onto a Jr. High
notebook from some mutated genius from
another world. Check it out!

CRAIG THOMPSON STUDY #13
It's been fun showing some detailed previews of Craig's
strip for the MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER
(coming this fall)! He's always been a great friend and
an artist of the highest degree. We might show more of
this baby in the near future, but how cool is it to top these
studies with the appearance of RED ROCKET 7 (and a
fave character from MADMAN Adventures #3).

Stunning, eh? And we're not even halfway yet. Be sure
to visit Craig's blog and start counting the days until the
release of his masterpiece HABIBI (we're among the

CRAIG THOMPSON STUDY #3
Craig's strip is actually a kind of history of the
Snap City Universe. Here, of course, is Mr. Gum
aka Mr. Booger. Much more to come...

CRAIG THOMPSON STUDY #2
Does this have something to do with MADMAN?
In Craig's brilliant mind it does. But you'll have to
wait to put all the pieces together.
CRAIG THOMPSON STUDY #1
Craig Thompson's contribution to the
MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY
MONSTER! is begging for study. For
the next several posts we will do just
that with a variety of exclusive sneak
peeks that would set your brain on fire if
they weren't delivered in small doses.
To see more of our good buddy's work
and build anticipation for the september
release of his years-in-the-making
masterpiece HABIBI visit his blog at:

THE MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER!
(not final cover)
Okay, we'll call this the "official" announcement. This is the BIGGEST of the BIG and should be coming at you sometime around Thanksgiving (it's almost completely done, so confidence is high on making that goal). Here's the skinny: This baby will be published at the enormous size of approximately 11 x 17 inches in Hard Cover. If you saw the Wednesday Comics collection you'll have a very good idea of the format, only FATTER. This very special book will feature my biggest and most important Frank "Madman" Einstein story yet (no hype here), as well as ALL-NEW "monster-size" strips from all three Hernandez Bros., Matt Wagner, Bernie Mireault, Joe Quinones, Frank Quitely, Peter Bagge, Dean Haspiel, Dave Cooper, Eric Powell, Darwyn Cooke, Philip Bond & Peter Milligan, Jay Stephens, Erik Larsen, David Mack, Pat McEown, Craig Thompson, Paul Pope, Jeff Smith, Steven T. Seagle & Teddy Kristiansen, Michael Avon Oeming, Al Columbia, and Kyle Baker! There's a framing device written by Jamie S. Rich drawn by Valentino and myself, an incredible essay on independent characters by Adam McGovern illustrated by Michel Fiffe and myself, and then...THEN every single Madman/Atomics pin-up from the past 20 years including Kirby, Toth, Kubert, Moebius, BWS, Stout, Kaluta, Vess, Stevens, Miller, Simonson, Byrne, Chadwick, Schultz, Rude, Aragones, Nowlan, Bolland, Ware, Clowes, Seth, Woodring, Sale, Cassaday, Acuna, Noto, Grampa, Pander, McCloud, Chiarello, Dorkin, Hewlett, Hughes, Gibbons, Darrow, Adams, Mignola, Lee, Silvestri, Harris, Bolton, Brereton, Thompson, Bradstreet, Gianni, Johnson, Burns, Ross, Morrison, Silverman, Moore, Morse, Mahfood, Russell, Rivoche, Cherkas, Hampton, Sienkiewicz, Silke, Hempel, Groening, Watson, Wray, Lark, Cho, Blevins, Manley, Bone, Del Carmen, Timm, and many MANY more! HUGE!
