About the AuthorMichael Allred grew up in the 60's and 70's and was surrounded with the best in pop culture and a steady diet of music, movies and comic books including the three B's: Beatles, Bond and Batman to the point of obsession.
So it should come as no surprise that he keeps a hand in film and music (He's the lead singer and guitarist for The Gear), but comic books have always been a seminal source of joy for Mike and that joy remains the main ingredient in most of his work.
Allred first tasted success in the comics field with his wildly popular
MADMAN series, which is currently being developed for a live action film with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. His earlier work from
GRAFIK MUZIK was turned into the cult hit movie
G-Men from Hell directed by Christopher Coppola (featuring Robert Goulet as the Devil). Other work includes
Red Rocket 7, his history of Rock and Roll told in the context of a sci-fi adventure story, the Madman spin-off
THE ATOMICS and his magnum opus,
THE GOLDEN PLATES, where he's illustrating the entire
Book of Mormon.
Mike counts the secret to his success to be his wife, and creative partner, Laura Allred, who is is considered to be one of the best colorists in the business.
