The official press release:
IDW HELPS CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF MIKE ALLRED’S MADMAN WITH NEW LIMITED EDITION
IDW Limited’s New Madman: Quarter Century Shindig Offers Signed Editions and Original-Art Editions
(January 19, 2018) The zippiest, poppy-est, outright ginchy-est comic in the world, Madman, is celebrating its twenty-fifth birthday and IDW Limited is helping ring in the celebration with a special new hardcover limited edition hand-curated by series creator and multiple Eisner-winner Michael Allred!
Madman: Quarter Century Shindig is an oversize hardcover collection and the newest release in IDW Limited’s Artist Select series. Up til now, the previous four Artist Select editions have been centered around Marvel characters but now, Allred’s Frank Einsten is joining the party.
Quarter Century Shindig compiles well over 400 pages of Madman adventures, all hand-picked by Allred and spanning the character’s 25-year history. From the character’s earliest tales through adventures set in Dimension X; from a flip-book approach to a story told in one 32-page single image; from stories presented in duotone color to the full vibrancy that colorist Laura Allred brings to every page she touches, the stories collected herein showcase not only the best Madman adventures but also the progression, dynamism, inventiveness and pop-art madness that infuses all of Allred’s work.
IDW’s Chief Creative Officer Chris Ryall conducted a comprehensive new interview with Allred to open the book as well.
And as an IDW Limited Artist Select release, this collection is being offered in two deluxe limited editions:
• Red Label Edition: Slipcased oversize hardcover limited to 999 copies signed and numbered by Mike Allred
• Black Label Edition: Traycased oversize hardcover limited to 56 copies featuring one of 56 original-art pieces drawn, colored and signed by Allred.
As a unique touch befitting Madman, all 56 of Allred’s original hand-drawn plates make up one animated sequence. Check out the animated GIF of the image here.
“For over two decades now, Mike Allred’s art and storytelling have thrilled readers like myself,” said Ryall. “Really, it’s impossible not to look at a page of Mike’s art and not have it put a huge smile on your face. So IDW is very excited to be able to celebrate this anniversary of Mike’s work on Madman and offer up this amazing new collection.”
