"Michael Allred is probably best known in Mormon circles for The Golden Plates, his graphic novel adaptation of the Book of Mormon. But much of his worldly fame arises from his comic hero Madman, a reanimated corpse who interacts with aliens, changelings, a man made of vomit, and a scientist who grows himself a giant brain by repeatedly injecting a serum into his tongue. If you think this milieu sounds like a great environment in which to play with Mormon theology, you would be absolutely right. To the initiated reader, Madman is a kind of Mormon Wonderland where LDS doctrines and stories take on bizarre shapes and work strange wonders." [p. 40]
