Phil Foglio has published two standalone novels outside his comics work. “Illegal Aliens” (1989), co-written with Nick Pollotta, is a comedy science fiction novel about extraterrestrials who recruit humans for an interstellar contest. The book reflects the same humorous sensibility that runs through all of Foglio’s creative work.
“The Night Sheriff” (2021) came decades later and takes an urban fantasy approach, set in a California beach town with supernatural elements. While Foglio is primarily known as a visual storyteller, these novels show he can carry his humor and storytelling into prose. Both books are light in tone and designed to entertain.
