### Author Biography

Michael 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.
