Mr. Gum #[nn]

In this standout 2003 issue from Oni Press, Madman stumbles upon his former Atomics teammate Mr. Gum, reduced to begging on the street with no memory of his past or powers. Written by Mike Allred and brought to life with bold, quirky energy by J. Bone on art and inks, with Han Allred’s vibrant colors, the story unravels a mystery tied to Mr. Gum’s father’s candy business—while also exploring long-strained family bonds and a budding romance with a co-worker. The cover by J. Bone captures the surreal charm of the series perfectly.
