Madman

Mike Allred’s Madman launched in 1992 from Tundra Publishing, a three-issue series that introduced readers to the wonderfully weird world of Frank Einstein—a resurrected man with a bandaged head and a boundless curiosity for life. Allred, serving as both writer and artist, crafted a vibrant, pop-infused adventure that blends superheroics, horror, and heartfelt humanism, setting the stage for one of independent comics’ most beloved and enduring characters. This initial run established the core cast, including the enigmatic Dr. Boiffard and the menacing Dr. Flem, while showcasing Allred’s signature clean, dynamic art and offbeat storytelling.
