Book Reviews of Madman Volume 1 (v. 1)
Book Review: Beautiful format for Mike Allred's greatest creation
Summary: 5 Stars
MICHAEL ALLRED'S MADMAN VOLUME 1 is the first of 3 new softcover volumes collecting all (?) of the Madman stories. This first volume contains the original Madman mini-series # 1-3 and Madman Adventures # 1-3. It's nice to see these stories back in print, especially in these thick quality editions with beautiful covers. Image has really impressed me lately with their collections of well-established material from other creators, and this is their best move yet.
The black and white Madman mini from 1992 introduces us to Madman, aka Frank Einstein, and his interesting cast of supporting characters, including his true love Joe, Drs. Flem and Boiffard, the partly-invisible Gale, and the villainous Monstadt. The 1993 full-color mini continues the fun with a time-travel/metaphysical adventure and new players such as Cozmo Carson and Space Explorer Pioneer Reddick the Elder. As a bonus, appearing at the beginning of each "chapter" and at the end of the book are pin-ups from the Madman Picture Exhibition, including work from Jack Kirby, Frank Frazetta, Alex Toth, and Barry Windsor-Smith. I'm guessing that more of these images will appear in the following volumes.
This is a great opportunity for new readers to get in on the Madman bandwagon. For those of us who don't like hardcovers, these 3 trades are very affordable and will look great on your bookshelf.
