    This was a thrill (despite my nerves)! Apologies for the all the stuttering. You'd never know I used to make my living on the Tee Vee. But my life doesn't have a script ;'P

      @slowhed 6 месяцев назад +7

      Great interview! Always wanted to hear you talk shop! If you don't mind me asking, which brush are you using, you mentioned it has a cartridge? I'd love to know more about it!

    • @philbarrera6117
      @philbarrera6117 6 месяцев назад +2

      @@slowhedI remember reading years ago that Allred reached out to Charles Burns early in his career, who recommended using a #0 brush for inking.
      Update: Oh, he goes into it in this very interview. 😄

    I grew up in Eugene, where Mr. Allred currently resides, and had the good fortune to meet him several times as we both had a subscription box at the same comic shop. If you bought one of his books and had the shop owner put it in his box for you, he would sign your stuff whenever he came in. He would pop into the shop every Wednesday and always took the time to talk with anyone who approached him, no matter how busy his schedule was. Mike Allred is one of the kindest, most giving people I've ever met.

  • @KAROSHIcomics
    @KAROSHIcomics 6 месяцев назад +29

    Mike is the Paul Newman of comics. At the very top of his game. Successful. Champion of the medium. Family man. Hard worker. Supporter of younger artists who look up to him. Oh…and on the side …he’s also a rockstar. Absolute LEGEND.

    • @Michael-tf8om
      @Michael-tf8om 6 месяцев назад +11

      That's incredibly flattering. HUGE admirer of the Pauls (Newman & McCartney), who are fine inspiring examples of life well lived.

    Mike Allred pops up here and there in the comments section of comic related live broadcasts and he is never less than a wonderful and warm human being. Discovering this as I discovered his work has made me a fan for life. Another fabulous interview. A BIG thank you to all involved.

  • @wdparrish
    @wdparrish 6 месяцев назад +9

    Allred is one of comic heroes. This interview made me emotional, and I have even more respect forthe man. Also, I need that Prisoner shirt!

    • @z_bill
      @z_bill 6 месяцев назад +1

      I don't know why it to me so long to realize! What a cool guy. He should do a Prisoner book!

  • @crashline
    @crashline 6 месяцев назад +8

    Allred is in my top 3 of all time. That art style is so iconic. Laura's colors really make it shine though. A dynamic duo of epic proportions. We're all lucky to have them.

    • @crashline

      I loved the prisoner. I had no idea that you could visit the island. Awesome.

    Mike is correct, Peter Milligan is one of the most underrated writers in comics.

  • @thetonycanepa
    @thetonycanepa 6 месяцев назад +3

    The brush pen Mike is referring to at 12:18 is the Pentel Pigment Ink Brush Pen - Extra Fine (FP5F). With the Pentel brush pens, the grey handled pens are pigment inks which are waterproof while the black handles are aqueous.

    I've been a Mike Allred fan for 30 some years and somehow never heard him talk, never had an impression of his demeanor and personality outside of what comes across in a magazine interview. I'm so happy he is such a cool, humble guy. Also, back when I first got email back in 1994, somehow I got Mike Allred's email address and he graciously responded to my message asking about his drawing tools where he also turned me on to Windsor & Newton series 7 #2 brushes.

  • @derekdraws
    @derekdraws 6 месяцев назад +4

    Mike Allred is and has been in my top 5 since picking up Madman Adventures #1 as a kid. And he's always been nothing but kind and supportive when he's passed my booth at cons over the years even though I doubt he knows me from Adam. A+ dude.

  • @portland-182
    @portland-182 6 месяцев назад +2

    Another great interview. Pop culture alert - A shelf of light sabres, a Han Solo DL-44, and a TOS Phaser,, The Saint ring tone... I'm guessing 'Bolan' is the upcoming project

      @shidiwen9329 6 месяцев назад +2

    Reading Oddity Odyssey got me back into reading and drawing comics in 1995 after a few years of having no money as a student. Mike and Laura Allred are one of the best teams in comics and this was a truly inspiring interview. Thank you!

  • @opticsbinding2815
    @opticsbinding2815 6 месяцев назад +4

    This was so great! I could listen to Mike talk about The Prisoner all day. Laura’s offscreen comments (“teacher’s pet!”) just made me want a dual interview even more. Maybe a deep dive into Grafik Muzik when the Madman Library Vol. 6 comes out…

  • @donaldglass2421
    @donaldglass2421 6 месяцев назад +1

    damn I love shoot interviews. I think I have said this before but the one thing in common I see with all these artists is that they all seem composed and at least on some level got their shit together, there is definitely something they all seem to have in common. there are a couple exceptions of course lol, but i think it just shows what it takes to have the dedication to make all the shit they have made.

    Made my day!👍Madman 3 issue mini series came out around the same time my father was sick and passed away and that quirky fun read got me through it! The corner of the book has a little Madman dancing and clever as hell flip book! Been there over the years, The Atomics,Catwoman mini series with Darwyn Cooke,Superman/Madman Hoolabaloo , Solo (Hourman with a Chris Ware homage and the New Gods short!🎯) and of course 29 issues of Silver Surfer ❤️! Ed is correct Laura Allred is a excellent color artist! Great combo! Hopefully they will both come back sooner than later 🤞! Keep reading and making comix!😎
