First off, I'd like to explain some things to the casual Madman reader. This is NOT the beginning of the series and, as such, will not include the origin or anything like that. But you do get some extremely interesting material. A collection of the second series (ironically entitled Madman Adventures), this is some of the best material available in comics today. Also includes an introduction by Mike Allred himself.

Madman is the ginchiest! With this collection Mike and Laura Allred are just hitting their stride: the writing is tremendous, the art is superb, and the story makes you deeply care about this peculiar anti-hero who always seems just on the verge of chickening out. I highly recommend this book -- you'll read it at least a dozen times!

Mike Allred is the man who made comic books fun again. His art simply has no pretension and also does the story. That's what makes it so fantastic. Madman is one of the greatest comic book characters created in the 90s and you must be nuts not to buy this book.
