[[Led By a Mad Man]] is an [[After the End]] [[Web Comic]] following a [[Five-Man Band|band of five people]], made up of Daniel(the titular madman who is determined to become the king of this newly abandoned country), Ian (a boy he picks up on the way), Richard (Ian's grandfather), Timothy, and Karen. They're now [[Walking the Earth|traveling aimlessly]], presumably the sole survivors after a vaguely explained [[Depopulation Bomb|mass genocide]].
