Philip J. Bond is a British comic book artist, who first came to prominence in the late 1980s on "Deadline" magazine, and later through a number of collaborations with British writers for the DC Comics imprint Vertigo.

Biography

Early life, career and "Deadline"

Philip Bond was born in Lancashire, England in 1966, and is "the son of a preacherman." [ [http://www.artbomb.net/profile.jsp?idx=1&cid=149 Art Bomb: Philip Bond profile] . Accessed June 6, 2008] His earliest comics work came out of his being "active in the British alternative comics scene from 1987," [ [http://lambiek.net/artists/b/bond_philip.htm Lambiek.net Profile for Philip Bond] . Accessed June 6, 2008] and he writes on his website that, in 1988::"I was sat on the floor of Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin's single room flat pasting up the first issue of our self-published ATOMTAN magazine." [ [http://philipbond.com/bondnet/ PhilipBond.com November 20, 2000] . Accessed June 6, 2008] "Atomtan", Bond's first work, was a self-published fanzine created with Tank Girl creators Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett, along with Luke Whitney and Jane Oliver. Bond's talent for comical, exaggerated anatomy and poses quickly lead to professional work, mostly for now-defunct title "Deadline", on strips such as "Wired World".

This in turn led to Bond's inclusion in Atomeka Press star-studded anthology "A1", with Bond contributing to issues #2 (with Hewlett) and #3 (in a story written and illustrated by Bond entitled "Endless Summer").

2000 AD and Vertigo

In 1990, he illustrated (and co-created) the Garth Ennis-scripted comedy series "Time Flies" for the leading British science-fiction comic, "2000 AD". In 1995, Bond was involved in the hype surrounding the release of the "Tank Girl" movie, illustrating a number of new "Tank Girl" strips for various publications. With Tank Girl and American reprints of "Deadline" raising his US popularity, and the DC Comics imprint Vertigo actively recruiting UK talent, Bond's skills were soon at work on American comics. Bond inked a Pre-Vertigo issue of "Doom Patrol" before co-penciling (with Glyn Dillon and Chris Bachalo) two issues of "Shade, the Changing Man" and then penciling and inking an issue himself (issue #48, June 1994). In 1995, Vertigo released a number of one shot issues under the collective title "Vertigo Voices," written by Vertigo's "most outspoken writers." ["Vertigo Voices" Promo Poster. Partial tagline.] Bond illustrated (with additional inks by D'Israeli) Grant Morrison's offering: "Kill Your Boyfriend".

Between November 1995 and January 1996, Bond inked Alan Grant's take on "Tank Girl" in Vertigo's "Tank Girl: Apocalypse" and worked on several issues of Morrison's "The Invisibles" in 1999/2000. Also in 2000, he illustrated Jamie Delano's Hellblazer miniseries "Bad Blood", and provided covers to the Ed Brubaker and Warren Pleece series "Deadenders" (2000-01).Citation | last = Irvine | first = Alex | author-link = Alexander C.

Bond says he was originally going to work on "We3", but Morrison - with whom Bond has "an understanding because we both like what one another does" - "had this other idea that he thought I would be great for," leading to Bond illustrating "Vimanarama", and Frank Quitely drawing "We3".

Over his career Bond has also illustrated comic strips for bands including the Smashing Pumpkins and Sum 41, as well as T-shirts for bands such as Cud. [ [http://www.williampotter.com/cudband/news001.html The Cud Band - "Old News," April 25, 2001] . Accessed June 6, 2008]

Personal life

Around 1999/2000, Bond "got attached and then married to Shelly Roeberg, who is now Shelly Bond." [http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/features/philipbond/ UnderGround Online interview with Philip Bond by Daniel Robert Epstein c.2004] . Accessed June 6, 2008] Roeberg, a key editor of DC Comics' Vertigo imprint titles, "had been coming over to the UK because she was the British liaison for Vertigo" after Karen Berger. Attending UK conventions, "when she came over in 1999 [she and Bond] really hit it off." Bond soon moved from the UK to New York City, and in 2004 the two had a son, Spencer. [ [http://philipjbond.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html#8284812994692172616 Philip Bond's blog - "it a picture of daddy," March 12, 2008] . Accessed June 6, 2008]

Most recently, Bond has focused his output on providing covers, rather than internal artwork. He has produced all covers (to date) for Simon Oliver and Tony Moore's "The Exterminators", as well as a cover for Harvey Pekar's most recent "American Splendor" miniseries (all for Vertigo).

He lives with his wife and son in New Jersey. [ [http://www.myspace.com/philipjbond Philip Bond's "MySpace" profile] . Accessed June 6, 2008]
