FRANKLY, MY DEAR...TODAY'S "MADMAN MONSTER" SNEAK PEEK!

More Madman goodness from Frank Quitely!  This strip

is beyond trippy.  Just like "Frank",  Love 'im!

ERIC POWELL IN THE "MONSTER"!

I can promise you that you will LOVE Eric Powell's strip

(unless something is terribly wrong with you)! One of many 

worth the price of admission.  It's a-comin'!  It's a-comin!

The book exists!  It came out BEE-YOO-TEE-FLEA!

Now we just need to get it on the shelves of all the

friendly neighborhood comic shops!  "But at least I have mine",

says evil Michael to the angry torch-weilding mob.

PAUL POPE ROCK 'EM SOCK 'EM MADMAN!

Here's a guy that knows how to put ROCK n ROLL
on paper!  My kinda guy!  And here's a lil' peek at
part of Paul's "MADMAN MONSTER" strip!

MICHAEL AVON OEMING MADMAN!

For his contribution to the MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY

MONSTER, Michael Avon Oeming goes retro and revisits

Frank Einstein as he was "coming right out of the box!

Here's a sneaky peek, Folks!  Mike is the GINCHIEST!

B.E.M.! MIREAULT MADNESS!

I think it would be accurate to say that I wouldn't have 

a career if it wasn't for Bernie Mireault.  His terrific THE JAM

was one of my biggest inspirations in the creation of

Madman. And he was there with friendship and support

inking the very first Frank Einstein story and painting my cover

pencils for that first appearance in CREATURES OF THE ID.

Hunt down every thing he's done and find bliss.  Love ya Bernie!  

Please enjoy this partial peek of his "Madman Monster" strip.

PAT McEOWN PEEK!

Man, I love this book! And I'm getting a big kick out of

sharing these little teasers for the "MONSTER".  I also 

get a big thrill turning people on to Patrick McEown's

most recent masterpiece, HAIR SHIRT.  You might have 

to hunt a bit to find a copy, but it will be well worth the 

treasure hunt.  Go get that treasure!

ERIK LARSEN'S "SAVAGE" MADMAN!

Steve Rude, Bernie Mireault, J. Bone, and Darwyn Cooke

are the artists that have drawn Madman/The Atomics the most, right?

...next to Erik Larsen that is... the Savage Dragon/Atomics crossovers

were a big kick and I'm thrilled that the most prolific Erik

took the time to play in the new "Monster" special.

LOS BROS. MADMAN STRIPS!

I've taken a panel from each of the 

creator's of LOVE & ROCKETS 

(probably my single biggest influence 

in getting me to make my own comics) 

strips for THE MADMAN 20th 

ANNIVERSARY MONSTER!

Gilbert, Jaime, and Mario, respectively, 

literally changed my life, and also 

happen to be super great guys to boot!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!

DEAN HASPIEL IN "THE MONSTER"!

Here's a little peek at Dean "Mr. Emmy" Haspiel's contribution

DARWYN COOKE SNEAKY PEEKS!

BOND/MILLIGAN SNEAKY PEEK!

Here's today's sneaky peek for the soon-to-be-in-stores

MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER!

This time it's a glance at the strip my old partner-in-crime,

Peter Milligan, wrote for the phenomenal Philip Bond!

IT EXISTS!!! MADMAN MONSTER IN MY HANDS!

Christmas Eve Eve!  Fresh out of the box moments 

ago and just in time for Christmas in the Allred household 

we got our advance copy of The Madman 20th 

Anniversary Monster!  So big and beautiful!  As you 

can see, it's big enough for kids to make a fort out of it!

KYLE BAKER sneak peek!

The "MADMAN MONSTER" 11 x 17
coffee table book (just put legs on it) is
almost here!  And here is another sneaky
peek.  This time a slice of Kyle Baker's
contribution!

ALLRED MADMAN 20th MONSTER TOUR!

We'll be posting a complete list of dates and venues
in the next few weeks for all our appearances in 2012

which THE GEAR will perform as well) .  Off the top
of my head I can safely state that we'll be appearing at
Stumptown in Portland, Emerald City in Seattle, Denver,

Gonna be a GINCHY year whether the Mayans were right or not!

MADMAN MONSTER PETE PEEK!

Here's a sneaky peek of Pete Bagge's strip from the
MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER!

GEM OF THE MONTH!

Should have bragged about this when it first came out.
So proud of this book and now it's only days away!

MADMAN MONSTER ALMOST HERE!

Sorry for being off the blog for sooo long.

Been crazy busy since ComiCon and hope

to have all our efforts pop up in a big way 

over the months to come.  Here's a lil' sneaky 

peek of the new stuff from the "MADMAN

MONSTER" hitting a shelf near you very soon:

And here's a CU peek of something you may 

have seen before from our great pal, Frank Quitely,

but now in MONSTROUS 11 x 17 glory!

He has a new strip in the book as well!:

CBR TV YACHT INTERVIEW!

When in San Diego, for whatever reason, CBR TV asked to interview me at their yacht tied up in the Marina near the Marriott where we were staying.  I happened to have a Beatles era "yacht hat", so it was easy to oblige. If you're into hearing some dude blab on endlessly about himself, this could be for you:  http://video.comicbookresources.com/cbrtv/2011/cbr-tv-cci-mike-allred-on-twenty-years-of-madman-jack-kirby-the-rocketeer-more/

I got a free custom CBR kazoo out of the deal too!

iFANBOY LUB: MY CAREER IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS...

I love comic books so very much!  And it's always a gas
to get excited and talk up my fave comic books new and old.
What a trip then to hear folks express excitement about
MY contributions to this wonderful industry/art form.
I'm humbled, yet happily eager to show this off:
