Iron Maiden sue over "confusingly similar" comic

Iron Maiden are reportedly suing an American publisher over a comic called Iron And The Maiden, which they say is confusingly similar to their name.

Iron Maiden are reportedly suing a American publisher over the title of one of their comics, Iron And The Maiden, which they say is "confusing similar".

They are trying to stop the publisher from using the name on their comic and any merchandise spin offs.

Whether eighteenth century torturers plan to sue the metal band remains to be seen. I'm frequently confused as to whether the 'iron maiden' people are talking about is something old, horrific and sinister or, rather, the iron-based eighteenth century torture device. See what I did there? Thank you, I'm here all week.
