FILTH & GRAMMAR is Shelly Bond's 176-page magnum opus, a step-by-step guide to making comic books from cover to cover with artists IMOGEN MANGLE, LAURA HOLE & MARK BUCKINGHAM. It's the first time Bond reveals the alchemy and method to her editorial madness. And it's the first comic book "how-to" by a comic book editor.
Editor/Idea Generator, Mad Scientist, and Master Control at DC Comics/Vertigo for over 20 years. Editor of Hugo and Eisner Award-winners The Sandman: Overture by Neil Gaiman & JH Williams III and Fables by Bill Willingham, recipient of 14 Eisner Awards and 150 consecutive issues. Current editor of Bitter Root, by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown and Sanford Greene, winner of the 2020 and 2021 Eisner Awards for best continuing series.
Before they were hit TV series, BODIES (on Netflix) by Si Spencer, iZOMBIE by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred and LUCIFER by Mike Carey and Peter Gross were comics under Shelly Bond's imprimatur.

Unless otherwise noted, all comics sold on the website come with a bag and board.
All books are shipped in thick cardboard mailers or flats to reduce the risk of damage while shipping. We will NEVER send your book in a floppy shipping envelope that doesn't have protective qualities.

Shipping rates are calculated by the weight of the items and will calculate in your cart at checkout with several options to choose from for shipping.
Conditions of These Items
Conditions of These Items
We cannot guarantee your new comic book or collectible will not have some slight imperfections.
Minor damages, like light corner dings or light spine dings may be present.
We do strive to try and spot all seriously damaged items before they are made available to you for purchase online, but we are human and we do deal with 100s of books everyday, so we have the potential to miss some things on our inspection.
If you feel like we missed a glaringly bad damage in your order, or your entire order was damaged by the mail, please contact us and we'll take it on a case-by-case basis to resolve you issue.
