There aren't many characters who have captured my attention and imagination like Madman has.
From the first time I picked up an issue of the Dark Horse series (then immediately hunted down everything that had come before) up to whatever the next wacky adventure Mike might subject Frank Einstein to - Madman has remained a staple of my comic diet for many years.
Owning a page from Frank's first appearance in Creatures of the Id is not something I thought would happen - but here it is, and I couldn't be more excited.
Mike recently commented on Creatures of the Id on
his blog...
"FRANK EINSTEIN! THE ONE! THE ONLY! THE ORIGINAL!
ESTABLISHED 1990!
My creation Frank Einstein has been with me for most of my life. I remember as a kid thinking how clever I was putting those two names together ( I don't know if anyone is ever as clever as they think they are). But it wasn't until 1990, when my career as a writer/artist officially began, that my humble creation became a published reality. My pal Bernie Mireault and I got with Jeffrey Lang to create an anthology called CREATURES OF THE ID which contained three stories all pencilled by me, all inked by Bernie, and the first two stories written by Jeff. The third story was written by me, FRANK EINSTEIN in FOR THE RECORD. This was lettered by my wife, Laura Allred."
