Madman Comics #13

Madman Comics #13 brings "The Exit of Dr. Boiffard, Part 2" to a fiery head, with cover pencils by Mike Allred and inks by Steve Rude delivering a tense scene: Madman himself — wide-eyed and glowing with that signature lightning-bolt chest emblem — stands at the center of a hellish, flame-lit cavern alongside a masked figure in black-and-yellow and a startled red-haired woman, while eerie green hands claw in from the edges. The whole composition crackles with danger and otherworldly dread, perfectly capturing the strange, pulpy energy that makes this Dark Horse series such a treat. Rounding things out is a bonus Dr. Robot feature, making this 1999 issue a satisfying package for any fan of Mike and Laura Allred's singular pop-surrealist universe.
