Madman Atomic Comics #5

Madman Atomic Comics #5 brings the cosmic weirdness of Michael Allred's signature style to vivid life, with a cover — penciled and inked by Allred himself and colored by Laura Allred — that sweeps across a star-flecked red cosmos. The central figure in the red-and-yellow costume surges forward alongside a purple spotted hero, a caped figure silhouetted against the stars, a robot-like companion, and a looming blue giant face that dominates the background with an unsettling grin. Titled "We Are Atomic!", this 2007 Image entry delivers the kind of retro-pop ensemble energy that makes Madman's world so thoroughly its own.
