Iron Bound

"Leach brings a high-contrast, sharp-lined, prickly drawing style--about equal parts José Muñoz (Alack Sinner), Frank Miller (Sin City), and Egon Schiele--to bear on the fatalistic story of two black-leather-jacketed young hoods in Newark, New Jersey, in 1961." Includes a 33-rpm flexi-disc EP of songs played during the climactic rumble. From the publisher: A gritty, brutal crime drama that focuses on a group of young hoodlums in early 60's Newark. Iron Bound is a gritty account of life in the margins of Newark's Ironbound district in 1961. With elements of a noir crime drama, Brendan Leach's ability to evoke place and moment elevates the narrative to a complex examination of the tenuous relationships of characters mired in conflict and fear.
