![]() ![]() We get a small handful of different adventures in this collection, and they’re all fun, told in a way that zips along, with gorgeous artwork. (I’ve read some of the later stuff, here and there.) Like: Who are all these people, anyway? We probably don’t need it, but if I’d never read any Madman stuff before, I’d be pretty puzzled. So I can understand what he meant in that introduction: If I’d made something like this, I’d be pretty proud, too.īut… as much as I enjoy being dropped into the action without any explanation, Allred gives new readers little chance to catch up with what’s been going on. Lovely colours from Laura Allred, too, of course. Allred’s artwork can sometimes be a bit stiff, but here it’s so lively and attractive. ![]() Man, the artwork here is so fresh and good looking. So I assumed that this was some sort of new beginning or something, but nope: We’re just dropped into a dream sequence at random, and then… He explains in the introduction that for the first time, his comics look like he wants to. ![]() I was a huge Allred fan back in the Graphique Musique/Graphic Music days, but I lost track of him soon after, and never read his Madman stuff, for some reason or other.
