Comedy guru Del Close, mentor to everyone from Bill Murray to Tina Fey, sets out to write his autobiography for D.C. Comics. Known for his peculiar talent for making everyone famous but himself, Close emerges as a personification of the creative impulse itself. For Madmen Only chronicles Close's breakdown and his stay at the psychiatric ward of Cook County Hospital. Close was a dark and deeply troubled soul, but some 20 years after his death, his acolytes still have us laughing.
