Hidden Lives, new adult comic from Tony Esmond, Vince Hunt and others, available now

By John Freeman on June 7, 2022

The new comic Hidden Lives is now on sale, offering hard-hitting and honest stories of real people.

Just for adults, with a limited print run, this is an anthology about real people. Those forgotten faces that you pass every day on the street.

“We see little snapshots of their lives and in doing so get a better insight into much more,” the team at Never Iron Anything tease.

Hidden Lives is written by Tony Esmond with art by Vince Hunt, Rachael Ball, Cliff Cumber, Jonny Cannon, Dan Butcher, Tom Curry, John Tucker & The PXD.

“You’re going to want to grab a copy of this one,” Dan enthused of the project on Twitter. “I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute and am really proud of the comic that’s been born from it.”
