Comics:

Quantum: Rock of Ages is Philip Clarks first substantial foray into the world of comics. Philips passion for comics began when he was five years old, and continued well past his adolescence. Having grown up with Claremont and Byrnes X-men, and the Wolfman/Perez team on New Teen Titans, Clark eventually found more mature and independent voices in the industry. My main influences are guys like Matt Wagner, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison; the ones with a bit of an edge, who like to put a twist on modern stereotypes. And David Mack, hes bloody brilliant.

Quantum: Rock of Ages is a story Philip Clark has always wanted to tell. Having lived the life I lived, sometimes I feel Id like to see the what ifs out there. With Quantum, I get to explore the possibility of, say what would have happened if I never left Wyoming, or what if I was already a rock-star. Philip has some great surprises planned for the series. I hope to tell Quantum in a trilogy, so these first twelve issues will be the first arc, Clark explains. I loved Matt Wagners Mage: The Hero Discovered, and, like that story, I have a bomb Im going to drop about halfway through the first arc. And Ive already set the stage for the next two arcs, but thats a ways away.

Philip Clarks musical résumé reads like a whos who of the industry. As a veteran session musician and producer, Philips credits include James Brown, Groove Collective, Afrikka Bambatta, Zulu Nation, and Brooklyn Funk Essentials.
