Broken Frontier

Mike Allred's MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS #1 is sold out at the distributor. Image Comics is responding with a second printing of the mind-bending first issue. Mike Allred's highly anticipated return to his signature creation has generated an undeniable buzz in the industry.

"When a comic book legend like Mike Allred steps back into the game, it gets everyone's attention," says Image Comics' Executive Director Eric Stephenson. "MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS #1 is both a fantastic jumping- on point for new readers and an exciting new chapter for longtime Madman fans. Allred is at the top of his ginchy game."

MADMAN is an exquisitely illustrated superhero romp with a light- hearted mood all its own. Allred is adored by hipsters and fan-boys alike, and MADMAN has cemented his place in comics' pantheon of legendary creators. MADMAN joins the ranks of Spider-Man, Hellboy, and Spawn as among America's most beloved comics icons.

MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS is a new series starring everyone's favorite back-from-the-dead hitman, Frank Einstein, as he ventures into a new era of MADMAN madness and fun. Hold on tight, kids! It's a wild reality-warping ride!
