Michael 'Doc' Allred čerpá svoju inšpiráciu z bohatej popkultúry 60. a 70. rokov, najmä z hudby, filmov a komiksov, ktoré ho fascinovali do miery posadnutosti. Jeho práca v komiksovom svete, často naplnená radosťou a energiou, sa vyznačuje jedinečným vizuálnym štýlom. Spolupracuje so svojou manželkou a umeleckou partnerkou Laurou Allredovou, ktorá je považovaná za jednu z najlepších koloristiek v odbore. Jeho tvorba, od úspešných sérií po vizuálne pôsobivé projekty, naďalej rezonuje s fanúšikmi a ukazuje jeho trvalý vplyv na komiksovú tvorbu.
Michael Allred's work uniquely combines spiritual and philosophical themes with a visual style inspired by 1960s superhero comics, blending post-modernism and nostalgia. Growing up amid pop art and camp, he incorporated kitsch and pastiche into popular culture. His signature comic book, Madman, reflects a veiled autobiography, exploring his spiritual journey within Mormonism and his struggles with existentialism, making his storytelling both personal and culturally resonant.
Enter a power-hungry alien world, as Horatio Hellpop seeks to repay the Merk for his Nexus superpowers. In order to do this, he must track down and assassinate a certain number of serial killers per quarter. If he fails, he is subjected to horrific dreams, which occasionally spill over into reality. This is a high-quality reprinted omnibus of a criminally overlooked comic series which ran for most of the 1980s.
Features Madman and the rest of citizens of Snap City: mad genius Dr Flem, the evil Mr Mondstadt and Joe, the love of Frank Einstein's life.
Features the yo-yo slinging super-hero, Madman.
