![]() ![]() Mike Allred's lovable hero, Madman-a chap whose real identity is unknown even to himself, and who has no real superpowers-runs into Superman. That Allred could get away with writing and drawing such a subversive take on one of the most tightly controlled characters in comics is, as Matt Wagner says in his introduction, a testament to the "Allred chutzpah." Perhaps you are wondering what sort of hullabaloo this is. Well, give Mike Allred a great big prize for his wonderfully enjoyable and off-center comic book The Superman Madman Hullabaloo! Not only is there a conversation about the existence of God, this story features mutant underground street beatniks, a super zombie, a health-food food fight, and a skyscraper with legs. The only thing is, each takes half of the other with him - creating two confused heroes and one big Hullabaloo! Co-published with DC Comics.Ĭan you imagine a Superman comic book in which another superhero, while sitting on a swing in a park, asks Superman if he believes in God? If you can, you might think it would be very difficult to pull off without being entirely silly (in a bad way). In each of their respective universes, Superman and Madman are involved in scientific experiments, the results of which propel the unsuspecting superbeings into one another's worlds. ![]() ![]() Synopsis: The Man of Steel meets the Man of Madness as two of comics' most unique and revolutionary heroes cross over (and how!). ![]()
