Joe Lombard

Joe Lombard made his entrance in Mike Allred's gloriously offbeat Madman Adventures #1 in 1993, stepping into one of the most stylishly inventive corners of the Dark Horse universe right as the Modern Age was hitting its creative stride. Over nearly three decades, he's kept some genuinely eclectic company — sharing pages with Madman, Frank Einstein, Dr. Flem, Dr. Boiffard, and Astroman across Madman Comics, Dark Horse Extra, and the handsome Madman Library Edition collections. With 25 catalog appearances spanning 1993 to 2022, Joe is a steady presence in Allred's wonderfully weird world, the kind of supporting figure whose longevity speaks to the rich, enduring ensemble that makes the Madman mythos so beloved. For fans who want to dive deep into one of alt-comics' most distinctive playgrounds, Joe Lombard is exactly the sort of character worth tracking down.
