The Winged Tiger first appeared in Phil's 1980 graphic novel called Cazco In China. In 1993, Phil wrote another graphic novel called The Winged Tiger that told a story without any words for a global audience. In the spring of 1998 Phil began a new comic book series called The Winged Tiger Comics and Stories, the first issue sold out immediately. It has since been reprinted in a full color deluxe edition called The Legend of The Winged Tiger. In the second issue of the Winged Tiger series Phil began one of his most ambitious projects to date, a story called the Ideaship adventures which featured Patrick Rabbit floating in a light bulb ship all around the planet meeting artists from all fields and getting them to answer the age old question-- "How Do You Get Your Ideas?" More than 200 world famous artists have joined in the fun.
