OK, so this isn't much more than a partial Phil Foglio bibliography with some clip art (but, hopefully, not enough to endanger "fair use" status).
You can visit Phil and Kaja's own sites at Studio Foglio and the Xxxenophile site.
Phil's first major work came in the 1970s in a variety of SF fanzines; he was nominated for and may even have won a few Hugos for fan art. After that, he moved on to Dragon® magazine, TSR®'s house organ, where he did the strip What's New® featuring the characters Phil and Dixie. Despite Phil's (the artist) near-total lack of familiarity with role-playing games, the series ran for several years, gleefully skewering every role-playing cliche in sight, and never quite getting to the hallowed "Sex and D&D®" strip.
Many years later, Phil collected the "What's New" strips in two volumes, and finally did the "Sex and D&D" strip. He has subsequently revived the strip for wozname (The Duellist, I think), the magazine for CCG nutcases. I hope he'll see fit to issue a collection of the new strips, but no such collection has yet been announced.
Following "What's New", Phil did the illustrations for the Starblaze® editions of Robert Asprin's Myth novels--Another Fine Myth, Myth Conceptions, etc.--and adapted Another Fine Myth into comic form (as "Mythadventures") for WaRP Graphics®. Starblaze went on to collect Mythadventures into two volumes. Mythadventures issue 5 is notable for having the story of Winslow, the immortal small green fuzzy alligator, as a backup. (The Winslow story is not reprinted in the Starblaze collections.)
Starblaze also collected several stories Phil had done in various fanzines
in the graphic novel Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire
and published
the full length graphic novel Buck Godot: PSmith.
From there, Phil went on to a series of miniseries at DC Comics®. First up was Plastic Man®, a revival of the humorous 1940s hero created by Jack Cole. Next was Angel & the ApeTM, a revival of the humorous 1960s detective strip. His third miniseries for DC was Stanley and His MonsterTM, a revival of a humor feature from the 1950s and 1960s that was something of a precursor to Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes®. Phil also contributed an origin story for Stanley and his Monster to DC's comic Secret OriginsTM. You may see a trend in the nature of Phil's projects for DC. Phil was at one point working on a revival of the 1960s humorous superhero strip Inferior 5TM, but various things have intervened on both ends of the author-publisher relationship.
About this time, Phil got into self-publishing, forming the company
Palliard Press
with old friend Greg Ketter of Minneapolis's Dreamhaven Books,
an SF/fantasy/comics specialty store. Palliard's first project was
XXXenophileTM. (In order to avoid too much of
the wrong kinds of
attention, certain of the following words have been broken to prevent
indexing.)
XXXenophile is, to be frank, sm*t. It's Phil Foglio sm*t, no
doubt--smart, funny, with lots of SF and fantasy, but it's p0rn0graphy
nonetheless. Caveat emptor, if that sort of thing offends you.
For the rest of us, it's good p0rn0graphy in addition to being
good Phil Foglio.
Palliard has also published the work of other artists, including a collection of Tim Barela's "Leonard and Larry", a strip about a gay couple; and the er0tic work of Julie Ann Sczesny, Colin Upton, and Charlie Wise in the XXXenophile Presents series.
Under the Palliard logo, Phil also revived his old friend Buck Godot for an eight-issue miniseries. This version of Buck has concentrated more on narrative and the SF aspects of the story over humor, although there are still plenty of gags.
Unfortunately for us Buck fans, Phil also got involved in the Magic: The Gathering® phenomenon, which has taken a lot of his effort away from his two ongoing Palliard series, which are now lucky to see an issue apiece each year. There is no Magic info on this page.
Phil's wife, Kaja, also does Magic cards and has contributed to Phil's Palliard Press work as well.
Phil and Kaja have recently completed work on the XXXenophile Collectible Card Game, which debuted at the Chicago Comicon in June, 1996.
