Philip J. Bond (born 11 July 1966 in Lancashire) 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.
Philip Bond was born in Lancashire, England in 1966, and is the son of a Preacher. His earliest comics work came out of his being "active in the British alternative comics scene from 1987," and he writes on his website that, in 1988:
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 led 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 No. 2 (with Hewlett) and No. 3 (in a story written and illustrated by Bond entitled "Endless Summer").
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 No. 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." Bond illustrated (with additional inks by D'Israeli) Grant Morrison's offering: Kill Your Boyfriend.
