==Early life==

==Career==
Mike Allred began his career as a radio host on KYES AM 950 (KY95) in Roseburg, Oregon. He later became a television reporter in Europe, and started drawing comics in 1989 with the 104-page [[graphic novel]] ''Dead Air'' ([[Slave Labor Graphics]]). The story loosely followed his stint in radio as a sidebar to the true focus of the novel, the effects of post-nuclear war over a small Oregon town. He followed this up with his similarly titled works ''Graphique Musique'' (1990) and ''Grafik Muzik'' ([[Caliber Comics]] 1990–1991), in which he set out the style that he was to become known for with his most famous character, Madman.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.lambiek.net/artists/a/allred.htm|title= Mike Allred|date= August 29, 2008|publisher= [[Lambiek|Lambiek Comiclopedia]]|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140220192400/http://www.lambiek.net/artists/a/allred.htm|archive-date= February 20, 2014|url-status= live|df= mdy-all}}</ref>
