More about the book
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.
