Phillip Creary

Phillip, the mind behind KPB Comics, has been a comic book fanatic since his college days, with his passion really igniting during the New 52 era. His journey wasn't a straight line to comics, though. Before launching KPB, he served in the military and recruited AV engineers in the corporate world. He even snagged a BA in History and an MBA in Human Resources Management along the way. While he's quick to joke those degrees don't get much use, all that history research definitely fueled his love for writing. When he's not busy crafting content or immersed in comics, you can find Phillip dominating in fighting games, binging anime, or chilling with the wildlife at the local park.
