Batman and Madman



I am a huge Mike Allred fan, his art style is at once modern and retro. I knew that any cover with his most popular creation would have to be reflective of the innovation that he brings to his stories. This was one of the most fun times I have had making one of these.

  1. Since I see that N is coming up is Nightman going to be among them? I thought that it would be a great team up when he was published.

  2. I never really followed the character. Was he a Malibu character? I do remember some God-awful TV show called Nightman and I think that soured me to the idea of trying the comic.

  4. These were the only ones I saw for sale when I purchased them on Ebay, but I bet some more exist out there. I'd love to see them too!

  6. Also, I like how Batman turns in the last panel. It looks like he actually hears Madman.

  11. A friend of mine showed me that cards from the Monopoly game and the images have all been re-drawn by another artist. So, while the game was indeed released, this art never was. I wonder why they did not use the far superior Allred art?
