ABOUT
This His 'n' Hers Comics Lab began in 1993 when then assistant editor Shelly Roeberg set her red, itchy allergy eyes upon a fill-in issue of Shade, the Changing Man drawn by notorious slacker artist Philip Bond. At that moment, not unlike the moment she discovered The Clash's Sandinista!, the future was written. She found her new favorite comic book artist of all time. Determined to trick Bond into drawing more comics for her, she managed to swindle and charm her way into his heart, eventually getting him banned from every local pub in the UK so he'd be forced to move to NYC in 2000 and marry her. For the love of comics, and by the power of Double-Stuf Oreos®, sublimely assembled mix tapes and colour blind fate, they continue to crush expectations in art and science. Believe what you read! This has been a public service announcement. With 8 guitars, 2 synthesizers, 1 drum kit, 12 red pens and a mid-century of legit experience in the comics biz.
