Philip "Phil" Foglio (born May 1, 1956) is an American cartoonist and comic book artist best known for his humorous science fiction and fantasy art. ==Early life and career== Foglio was born on May 1, 1956 in Mount Vernon, New York, and moved with his family to Hartsdale, New York, where he lived until he was 17.〔 He attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago, Illinois, and was a member of the university's science fiction club, art-directing & co-editing the group's fanzine, ''Effen Essef''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phil Foglio )〕 He was nominated for both the Hugo Award for Best Fan Artist and the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation in 1976,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1976 Hugo Awards )〕 and won ''Best Fan Artist'' in 1977〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1977 Hugo Awards )〕 and 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1978 Hugo Awards )〕 After living in the DePaul dorms for a few years, Phil moved to the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, and hosted weekly Thursday Night Meetings of Chicago-area science fiction fans. He drew the first known Unix daemons for a limited series of T-shirts in 1979. Beginning in 1980, Foglio wrote and illustrated the comic strip ''What's New with Phil & Dixie'' for ''Dragon Magazine'' from TSR Games, satirizing the world of role-playing games. The strip ran monthly for three years. In the early 1980s, after some time in Chicago attempting to find work doing science fiction magazine and book illustration, Foglio moved to New York City.〔 He formed the independent comic-book company "ffantasy ffactory" (capitals ) with science-fiction writer-artist Connor Freff Cochran (Freff) and SF book editor Melissa Ann Singer.〔 Working with editorial input from Chris Claremont, Foglio and Freff wrote and drew a single issue of a science-fiction/historical title called ''D'Arc Tangent'' before ending their collaboration in 1984.〔 He eventually returned to the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, and continued fantasy and science fiction art. For publisher Donning/Starblaze, Foglio illustrated the ''MythAdventures'' series of fantasy novels by Robert Lynn Asprin, and later adapted the first book, ''Another Fine Myth'', into an eight-issue comic-book series from WaRP Graphics. The WaRP work eventually led to comic-book assignments from DC Comics (''Angel and the Ape'', ''Plastic Man'' and ''Stanley and His Monster'' miniseries), Marvel Comics, and First Comics (back up stories in issues of ''Grimjack'' and scripting over Doug Rice's plots in ''Dynamo Joe''). He also joined the Moebius theatre group, and held regular meetings and poker parties for the local science fiction community. Foglio initiated his long-running character Buck Godot for the publication ''Just Imagine'', published by Denny Misinger.〔 Basing the humorous science-fiction detective on a real-life friend, John Buckley, Foglio "did a couple of those in the black-and-whites and then Donning said they wanted Buck Godot graphic novels", two of which followed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phil Foglio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
