Madman Comics #17

Frank Einstein — better known as Madman — crouches in a ready stance at the center of a wonderfully chaotic cover, surrounded by an avalanche of dolls, robots, clowns, toy cars, and bizarre creatures, while a red devil figure looms on the stairs above. The cover teases that Frank faces "his deadliest challenge yet" against the G-Men from Hell, and Mike Allred's densely packed, retro-pop artwork makes even the cluttered toy-room backdrop feel like a visual treasure hunt. This first installment of a four-part arc from Dark Horse Maverick promises the offbeat charm and irreverent energy that makes Madman Comics such a distinctive corner of the comics world.
