Mike Allred's MADWOMAN!

AAA Pop Atomic Action - Madwoman - Ace Toys & Fresh Monkey Fiction 2024

One of my favorite indie comics of all time is Madman. I first discovered the comic in 1994 when it became a part of the amazing Legend imprint under Dark Horse Comics. Legend was home to such pop culture hits as Hellboy and Sin City, but every single property (there were only 11) was a gem by true icons of the comic industry. I was immediately smitten with Madman. The story follows the enigmatic amnesiac science experiment, Frank Einstein, as he ponders life and love and has zany adventures. I find the book refreshing, quirky, poetic, and beautifully drawn. The primary female of the series is Jo Lombard, Frank's love interest who was a complex and fully-realized character from the start. She was such a constant in the stories that I was completely blindsided when she became Madwoman years later in the 2008 issue of Madman Atomic Comics #12. This figure was part of a Kickstarter campaign in 2023 by Christopher Irving and Fresh Monkey Fiction. Let's check her out below!









This figure makes use of the newly-introduced female Amazing Heroes buck to great effect.












These figures feature five points of articulation: head, shoulders, and legs.

























Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here are the two ladies from the Kickstarter campaign: Madwoman and It Girl.




And here is Madwoman with a handful of my Madmen figures (I have a ton). The two gray-shirted ones on the ends are a figure from this same Kickstarter campaign (that came with alternate heads).






Cheers!
