About Pharoah Bolding

Pharoah Bolding is a sequential artist and writer from Detroit, Michigan.

Bolding’s work has appeared in publications like Portland, Oregon’s Stumptown Underground magazine, the Portland Web Comic Group’s Pale Donkey Presents anthology, Main Enterprises’ Skull Cave Chronicles, T.R.I.B.E. Comics’ T.R.I.B.A.L. Stories anthology, and Portland’s Independent Publishing Resource Center‘s September/October 2011 Zine and Catalog. When not working on random dark humor-tinged material Pharoah is diligently working on a pair of graphic novels to be self-published later this year. One has a male vigilante dressed like a Catholic schoolgirl in it! Pharoah currently lives in Portland, Oregon with his life partner Heather and way more action figures, comic books, and wrestling masks than a man his age should own.
