Ep. #027 SquadCast Interview with Shelly Bond

08/15/22 • 61 min

Our latest spotlight SquadCast interview is with comic editor and publisher Shelly Bond. She is a returning guest and we were able to spend some time talking about her latest project Fast Times in Comic Book Editing.

Her latest effort from Offregister Press, the company that she runs with her husband Phillip Bond, is part memoir and part editorial handbook focusing on her time working on the Vertigo Imprint at DC Comics.

She had a hand in some of the most important comics of the 90s and that helped shape her into the superstar comic editor that she is today.

We talked about Shelly's projects including the recently completed Filth and Grammar: The Comic Editor's Secret Handbook, and Geezer. We also talked about comic books in general and why they became her passion.
