Iron Circus Comics

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.

Life is already difficult enough when you're not bipedal and are twice average human height, but Talita has finally had enough that the virtual hand of a rogue spaceship A.I. is enough to make her stargaze. 🚀

Help repair the Runaway, get out undetected, and the ship is yours. Your pals can even come with. Seems simple enough!

RUNAWAY TO THE STARS launches TODAY! Jay Eaton's sci-fi slice-of-life-amongst-the-stars is finally here and ready for takeoff! Be sure to also follow for more!
