Hi there, everybody! We're Iron Circus Comics!

We were born in 2007, and we're the premiere publisher of award-winning, critically-acclaimed graphic novels in the American Midwest—a small-mid house built from the ground up by our founder, C. Spike Trotman!

Our mission? To showcase the Strange and Amazing in comics! Our books are off the beaten path, one-of-a-kind, and one thousand percent worth the trip! We hope you'll come along!

Like all Iron Circus anthologies, overfunding of our initial goal will be poured into our creator bonus system! For every $5,000 over the funding goal we hit, the creators in Perfect Crime Party will get their page rate increased by $5.

The money raised from our campaigns goes to pay our creators FIRST, and other costs second. By supporting us directly, you are ensuring a larger payday for the creators you love!

Once we are further in the campaign, we'll also be sure to announce some fun stretch goals for backers!

This is Iron Circus Comics' forty-third crowdfunding project. Thirty-eight of our previous projects have been fulfilled and completed, and the other four are currently in the process of being fulfilled by White Squirrel. To date, our crowdfunding fulfillment completion rate is 100%. Back with confidence: This ain't our first rodeo!

We're aiming for a SUMMER 2025 fulfillment date for physical rewards. However, due to the current volatility of the global market and international shipping, we can make no guarantee that rewards will ship by that date. But we'll do our absolute best!


Because of our pre-existing distribution contracts, there is a possibility of seeing these books in stores before receiving your rewards. This is out of our direct control, and we are continuing to work as hard as we can to ensure rewards will be shipped as close to the planned date as possible. Buying ICC books via crowdfund is still the most direct way to benefit our creators!


Edit

Please take note of the estimated shipping charges listed with the backer level you've selected, and understand shipping charges may change between the project and fulfillment.

During the fulfillment process, BackerKit will calculate any shipping that may be required when you fill out your delivery address. Shipping costs will not be assessed and billed until then! You are only being charged for your pledge amount at this time. We hope this helps to keep the cost of shipping down due to current fluctuations in domestic and international shipping costs.
