[citation needed] Almond's entry into the comic book industry came as a result of the efforts of fellow artists Bernie Wrightson and Jim Starlin.

Starlin convinced his editor at Marvel Comics to hire Almond as Terry Austin's replacement as inker on Warlock and the Infinity Watch.

[2] Almond moved on to other projects in 1999, freelancing on such titles as Black Panther, Annihilation: Conquest - Quasar, Heroes for Hire, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

[8] On October 26, 2022, the world premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released with Bob and his storyteller creative partners receiving “Special Thanks” end credits.
