Madman Picture Exhibition Limited Edition
Share:
At $29.95 it’s a bit pricey
for a rather thin hardcover collection, but fans of artist Mike Allred and his
creation, Madman, have always shown themselves to be a loyal bunch. And in this
case, the loyalty is rewarded with a very nice package featuring the work of
some very high profile creators. Comprised of illustrations by other artists
portraying Madman, Madman Picture Exhibition Limited Edition collects the
recent four-issue mini-series which in turn reprinted the two trading card sets
and numerous back covers that featured these works in the first place. Over the
years, such luminaries as Frank Frazetta, Jack Kirby, Alex Toth, Joe Kubert,
Will Eisner, Moebius, Barry Windsor-Smith, Scott Hampton, Mark Schultz, Steve
Rude, Tim Sale, Adam Hughes, Dave Gibbons, Geoff Darrow, Alex Ross, and many
other great artists contributed their efforts, which are now available in one
volume for the first time. If you’re an Allred or Madman fan, you definitely
will want to check this one out.
