Description
Ironjaw #1, published by Atlas Comics in January 1975, featuring the debut issue of the brutal sword-and-sorcery anti-hero created during the boom in fantasy comics of the mid-1970s. This first issue introduces readers to Ironjaw, the fierce warrior known for his distinctive steel jaw and savage adventures in a violent and unforgiving world.
The striking cover artwork showcases Ironjaw battling multiple enemies against a vivid orange backdrop, making this one of the most recognisable covers from the short-lived Atlas Comics line. As issue number one of the series, this comic holds additional appeal for collectors of independent publishers, Bronze Age fantasy titles and first appearances.
Atlas Comics had a brief but memorable publishing run in the mid-1970s, making surviving examples increasingly sought after by collectors interested in non-Marvel and non-DC releases from the era. Ironjaw remains one of the publisher’s best-known titles and an important part of 1970s sword-and-sorcery comic history.
