Mike Allred is a U.S. comic book artist and writer. He first rose to prominence with his work for small publishers including Slave Labor Graphics and Dark Horse Comics, especially for his character Madman. The Madman series later won a Harvey Award. He went on to gain further mainstream attention with the science-fiction/rock-and-roll comic Red Rocket 7 and his art for writer Peter Milligan's X-Statix series. Currently he is writing and drawing The Golden Plates, an adaptation of The Book of Mormon. His wife, Laura, frequently works as his colorist. Allred's illustration style is heavily influenced by pop art and the commercial and comic book art of the 1950s and 1960s.
