New Podcast - Dissecting the Black Crown Universe with Cliff Cumber.



On Episode 4 of the Never Iron Anything Comics Review Podcast I was joined by artist and all round bounder Cliff Cumber.


We go through the publishing history of Black Crown - this short-lived but burned brightly imprint at IDW. We dissect the highs and the lows of the books that they published and also ponder on why this model didn’t find the success it hoped for in the modern comics market.

Comics like Kid Lobotomy from Pete Milligan and Angry Tess Fowler, Punks Not Dead from Dave Barnett and Martin Simmonds, Marilyn Mansion from Magdalene Visaggio and Marley Zarcone and more get examined under the microscope of hindsight. There’s a lot of love and a little bit of WTF opinions here on the show.




This is also not for the faint of heart as there is a short discussion about the merits of dogging during the Virus Lockdown.

Let me know in the comments what you think. (And yes I know I get the episode number wrong in the first two minutes of the episode!)

Do you have a graphic novel, series or single issue you’d like to discuss during these lockdown days? Leave a comment below.

Many thanks for listening.
