Phil Hall (author)
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, 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 USA.
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, later returning to write a column for the comics website comicsvillage.com. In March 2011, Hall began serialising his autobiographical book about his experiences in the comics industry. Called My Monthly Curse, it is shown over 60 weeks and is available to be read at http://alifeincomics.blogspot.com/ or www.bleedingcool.com, where it is simulcast.
Hall currently lives in Northampton, England, with his wife and four dogs.
