The Superman / Madman Hullabaloo!

In 1998, Mike Allred brought his off-kilter, pop-art sensibilities to Metropolis for a one-shot crossover that united the Man of Steel with his own creation, the eccentric hero Madman. Published jointly by DC and Dark Horse, this single-issue story is a vibrant, self-contained romp that showcases Allred's signature blend of retro-futuristic design and heartfelt, quirky storytelling. It stands as a delightful, standalone meeting of two very different superhero worlds, captured entirely through the unique vision of its writer/artist.
