Philip XAVIER is a French/American artist, who has carved quite a name in the comic book industry on both sides of the Atlantic in the past few years. He now resides in Lyons, France. Combining his early French comic book influences with American techniques, Philip has created a very extraordinary, detailed style.

Philip has then been praised for his work in Heavy Metal (Tadmuru, a story colored by Stephane & Olivier Peru) and Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated Magazine. He also contributed to Books of Lore, published by Peregrine Entertainment, and Threshold, Demonslayer, and Mortal Souls (wtitten by Steven Grant), all published by Avatar.
