You don’t know how happy I am that there is a new issue of Mike Allred’s Madman hitting shelves this week. I love Mike Allred! Hell I love all the Allreds.
I’m also excited to see Matt Kindt’s take on Madman which will be featured in this issue. I dug Kindt’s recent Sweet Tooth story, and Comic Guy Ruben Miranda has been talking about his graphic novel Revolver a lot lately.
Since we are on the subject of Ruben and Madman, check this out!
Cerebus + Madman = Something Ruben and Matt can both agree on.
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
