Dr. Flem

Dr. Flem is a supporting character in Mike Allred's Madman universe, a quirky scientist figure inhabiting the offbeat world surrounding the patchwork hero Frank Einstein, also known as Madman.

A fixture of Mike Allred's gloriously offbeat Madman universe since 1992, Dr. Flem has kept curious company across three decades — rubbing elbows with the likes of Madman, Frank Einstein, and Astroman in the pages of Madman Comics, The Atomics, and beyond. Born in the Copper/Modern Age under Allred's distinctive pop-art sensibility at Dark Horse, this character is a testament to how a richly imagined supporting player can quietly anchor a cult mythology for thirty years. If you're diving into the wonderfully weird world Allred built, Dr. Flem is one of those names you'll keep encountering — and coming to appreciate more with every issue.
