Jeff Smith Covers Up A Perfect Crime Party For Iron Circus

Jeff Smith covers up A Perfect Crime Party For Iron Circus on Backerkit, and a preview of Joke Theft by Henry Barajas and Kit Mills

Spike Trotman's Iron Circus Comics is launching a BackerKit campaign to publish Perfect Crime Party, a full colour 300+ page anthology containing twenty-five light-heart tales of criminal activity from over forty incredible creators as well as a cover by Bone's Jeff Smith. From club-style murder mysteries to anxious teens hijinx to acts of protest, Perfect Crime Party asks the immortal questions: What's the perfect crime? And what do you think you could get away with?

"Perfect Crime Party is the platonic ideal of the Iron Circus anthology," said Spike Trotman. "A cool idea, tossed at incredibly creative people, who are left to do with it what they will! The results are always so fun and unexpected." And here's a look at Joke Theft by Henry Barajas & Kit Mills in which "a joke thief makes the perfect set." And there's more from the likes of David Brothers, Amy Chu, Matylda McCormack-Sharp and more.
