P. Craig Russell

P. Craig Russell is a comic book creator




Comic book artist

Phillip Craig Russell was the first well known mainstream comic book creator to come out as openly gay. Almost a Halloween baby, he was born on October 30, 1951 in Wellsville, Ohio.

Russell started in comics in 1972 with his 11-issue AMAZING ADVENTURES.  Subsequently he collaborated with Don McGregor on a graphic novel featuring KILLRAVEN, the hero of a future version of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. He left mainstream comics for awhile and produced a number of experimental strips, many of which were published in his Night Music series. This brought him to the attention of Roy Thomas, who was planning an adaptation of the ELRIC stories of Michael Moorcock. Russell has won several Eisner and Harvey Awards.

In December 2007, The Art of P. Craig Russell was published by Desperado, a 256-page, large-sized retrospective, filled with comic book pages from various stages of Russell's Career. It also contains commentaries and a long interview. A documentary feature about Russell, entitled "Night Music: The Art of P. Craig Russell", was premiered at the 2008 Mid-Ohio Con in Columbus.
