Iris Shaw

Iris Shaw stepped into the dark, rain-soaked world of James O'Barr's The Crow mythos in 1996, brought to life by writer James Vance and the moody, atmospheric art of Alexander Maleev in The Crow: Flesh & Blood — a Modern Age entry published through Kitchen Sink that expanded the franchise's brooding universe. Her story unfolds in the company of the Crow itself and the iconic Eric, placing her squarely within one of indie comics' most haunting and emotionally charged corners. With appearances also in J. O'Barr's The Crow #0: "A Cycle of Shattered Lives," Iris is a figure woven into the mythology at a compelling moment when the property was being explored across multiple publishers and creative voices. A relatively rare presence in the catalog, she's a rewarding discovery for collectors who love the gothic, grief-soaked atmosphere that made The Crow a cult phenomenon.
