Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Phill Hall (born 1962) is the former copy, news, and features editor for the British comics magazine Comics International, as well as the creator and editor of the comics magazine Borderline,[1] which won the Best Comicbook Magazine award at the 2002 British Comicbook Awards. In addition to this, he has worked for DC Comics, Marvel UK, and a number of small independent publishers in both the UK and US.
Hall created a number of popular comics magazine columns, such as "Movers & Shakers," "Hotshots," and "Networks," for Comics International; and was, in part, responsible for a number of would-be comics professionals obtaining professional contracts through the groundbreaking Borderline magazine. He left comics in 2003 to pursue a career in social care, but later returned to write a column for the comics website Comics Village. Hall had his book "My Monthly Curse: A Personal Comicbook History" published in August 2011. (B005FR2GNW) This was also serialised at http://alifeincomics.blogspot.co.uk/.
In July 2013, Hall launched Borderline Press Limited, a registered company dealing with the publishing of new European comics talent. Borderline Press will release its first books in November 2013. Details for Borderline Press Limited are available at Companies House.
First launches from Borderline Press Limited include: 566 Frames by Dennis Wojda - an autobiographical graphic novel and Zombre - an anthology title featuring a number of UK, US and European comics creators. Both books are released in November 2013.
Hall lives in Northampton, England, with his wife and four dogs.
Controversy
On 2 January 2008 Hall made several posts to online comics forum Comics Village.[2]
In these posts, he states that there is a "definite case for the return of fascism" and hopes this means his female detractors "will be locked up in some big penitentiary with a lot of male rapists.".[2] This stirred some controversy and his comments have been discussed and reposted on various websites, such as Blah Flowers LiveJournal[3] and Bleeding Cool.[4]
