Madman Comics #3

Mike Allred's split-composition cover for this 1994 Dark Horse issue says it all: Madman leaps in his white-and-red costume above churning ocean waves near a ship's hull, while a second scene below shows him cornered by a hulking robotic hand and an unsettling, wide-grinning alien figure in an orange suit — all framed by dramatic lightning-bolt diagonals. "Horror On The High Seas" promises exactly the kind of strange, kinetic adventure that earned this series its Harvey Award nominations for Best Artist, Best Cartoonist, and Best Colorist. If you've been looking for a series that blends pop-art energy with genuine weirdness, this is a great place to dive in.
