Biography
Josh O'Neill was born in the early 1980s to a Catholic father and a Jewish mother.[1] After growing up in New York, he moved to Philadelphia for higher education, where in 2010 he opened the comic book store Locust Moon Comics with Chris Stevens.[1] Through the shop, they organized numerous events, including an annual festival, and began publishing books—most notably Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream, a collaborative tribute to Winsor McCay’s dreamlike comic series, which was awarded two Eisner Awards and three Harvey Awards.[1]
In 2016, O'Neill closed the store to focus solely on publishing through his new company Beehive Books, a publisher of art books, graphic novels and design projects.[1]
In 2018 he launched LAAB Magazine, an annual newspaper of radical art and writing, co-edited with Ronald Wimberly.[2]
He also works as a writer, including on Marley's Ghost, co-written with Shannon Wheeler and illustrated by Gideon Kendall, published in 2018 by comiXology.[3] This adaptation of an unfinished project by Harvey Kurtzman earned them the 2018 Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic.
