And to end this week, a little bit of Madman, Michael Allred‘s wonderful creation.

Madman is the creation of Michael/Mike Allred and first appeared in Creatures of the Id #1 back in 1990. Since then, Allred’s taken him around so many different publishers but kept the uniqueness and fun of the character shining through over the last 30+ years.

So, Madman, first by a few others and then by Allred himself…
