Publisher’s description

This is it! The all-new, all-exciting, bimonthly continuing series makes its triumphant return to the racks! Thrilling stories, brilliant art -- this is the one, folks! The comic-book event of the decade! In fact, this is the comic-book series you'll be telling your grandkids about. This first issue begins with a six-page introduction that finds Frank (a.k.a. Madman) having his brain waves recorded, explaining much of what's gone on in the previous series. Then, the main story, "Crash Course for the Ravers," involves creatures from outer space who crash into the outskirts of Snap City as local street beatniks are altered by an unknown element found in the city's sewers. Madman's world contains robots, aliens, mad scientists, and monsters. This comic boasts the best of action-adventure, science fiction, mystery, and romance. Thirty-two pages of cover-to-cover comics, and a splendid color back cover by none other than Frank Miller (Sin City)!
