I've been a fan of Mike and Laura since I discovered a battered Madman graphic novel in my town library back over twenty years ago. That find led me to the comic shop where I would eventually work, where I bought up as much Madman material as I could find. Then I became a regular on his old message board and had regular discussions with him, his editor pal, and others in that small group of fans. I would say that I am a fan of Madman from the earliest stories up to the end of the Dark Horse run. After that I collected and read what Mike put out, but I found the story and character development material to be drifting away from what I enjoyed most. I still love that early chunk of Madman so much, but I have no hope of Mike ever bringing the character back to the tone of those early days. I am glad that Mike and Laura have gone on to great success, though, and I hope they have the best possible lives going forward.

This is an absolutely beautiful love letter to the Allreds and to comic books in general.
Great video on a person I don't hear much about.
Can't have enough Allred, thanks for watching.
Got the Madman card deck.. it’s so fun to flip through. So many legends drawing madman is one of the most inspiring experiences as a creator.
