Mad Doctors #2
An ode to 50’s pulp science-fantasy; Jack Kirby & Ray Harryhausen; EC Comics & Hammer Films… Mad Doctors may just break your brain.
“[Matt Blairstone has] created a really cool world; by the end of the first issue I was dying for more!” – Kristofor Harris, artist, Charl13
“…a witty homage to pulp comics that captures the feel of golden age sci-fi…but with honestly better writing and character design!” – Anne Bean, Emerald Comics Distro
“Mad Doctors is well-done fun, everything I look forward to in a comic.” – Doug O’Loughlin, Comic Cave PDX
“…a great indie comic chock full of Kirby-esque splash pages and action.” – Michael Fitzgerald, Destiny City Comics
In the broadest sense, Mad Doctors is an earnest celebration of wide-eyed pulp comics.
It is a blenderized stew of Jack Kirby, Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror. It is a sandbox war of the coolest Masters of the Universe action figures squaring off with Doc Savage and his Fabulous Five. It’s the cool toys they don’t make anymore, the ones with a goopy slime component that never completely washed out of your parents’ carpet, in comic book form.
It’s Game of Thrones meets General Hospital.
In purely comic book terms, it’s one part absurdist humor à la The Tick or God Hates Astronauts, one part Fear Agent sci-fi pulp, and one part Kamandi the Last Boy anything goes-ness.
