Iron Circus Comics

Iron Circus Comics is Chicago’s largest comics publisher! Owned and operated by C. Check us out. We’re gettin’ it done.

Spike Trotman, Iron Circus Comics was founded in the spring of 2007 to publish the print edition of Spike’s webcomic, the eccentric and acclaimed Templar, Arizona. It has since gone on to revitalize the small press world with collaborative anthologies like the S**t Peddler collections, The Sleep of Reason, and New World, as well as creator-owned works like EK Weaver’s The Less Than Epic Adventures

of TJ and Amal. Iron Circus is still a growing company, dedicated to publishing strange and amazing comics, amplifying unheard and unique voices, and giving creators a fair deal.

RISE AND SHINE! It's a brand new week and with that come new goals for our current campaign for 'REAL HERO S**T Harder Than It Looks' by !

We're first looking to upgrade the cover at $50,000! What could this mean? A lot of things! Gloss, gold foil, texturizing, embossing! If you've already backed, you'll get this! If you're just getting onboard, you will too!

Once we hit $75,000 we'll also be able to provide wooden pins as a bonus! Based on the paper wanted posters from the cover, these wooden pins will have etched in line art giving them a unique and old timey feel!
