Bio

Tim Fish currently resides in Boston, has a swell day job he'd love to ditch, and draws comics as much as possible.

His past work includes the bittersweet gay romance series Cavalcade of Boys; Web comics for Popimage and Edge; the graphic novel Strugglers; as well as commissioned and commercial art. His first project for Marvel Comics was published in 2006.

His latest book Trust/Truth hit the shelves November 2009.

Tim likes all sorts of music, old movies, and maps. Tim dislikes stupid things that aren't supposed to be stupid, and comic books that don't have their pages numbered.
