Phil Jimenez is an Inkpot, Diamond, and Wizard-award-winning writer and artist who has worked for DC Entertainment, Marvel Entertainment, and a host of other comic book companies for nearly 30 years.
He is best known for his work on Tempest, The Invisibles, New-X-Men, Wonder Woman, Infinite Crisis, Amazing Spider-Man, and now Wonder Woman: Historia, the Black Label graphic novel written by Kelly Sue DeConnick who I had on the show a few weeks ago.
I had the pleasure of talking to Phil about his journey as an artist and his passions. We dive into the fashion choices behind Wonder Woman Historia and his gratitude for the inspirations and mentors in his life.
We also discussed the recent ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation that passed in Florida and some of the other social issues of today. I really enjoyed getting to know Phil and am hopeful he will be a recurring guest on this podcast. I am so fortunate to speak with such amazing and inspiring humans.
