His works included books, magazine articles, and scripts used in radio, for television and on the stage.

The 1998 recipient of the Nebula Author Emeritus award for lifetime achievement, Bond was a pioneer in early science fiction and fantasy.

Many were published in Blue Book magazine, though Bond largely retired from fiction writing after the 1950s.

He is noted for his "Lancelot Biggs" series of stories and for his "Meg the Priestess" tales, which introduced one of the first powerful female characters in science fiction.

While at Marshall, he contributed to the Huntington Herald Advertiser and edited the college newspaper, The Parthenon.

[1] Shortly after joining, he was offered the position of public relations field director for the province of Nova Scotia.

[1] He started by writing sports stories but made his first significant sale with "Mr. Mergenthwerker's Lobblies", which was published in Scribner's Magazine in 1937.

Bond wrote and sold more for Blue Book than the pulps, which was not only more prestigious but paid more for his work.

[5] Bond wrote for such radio programs as Dr. Christian, Hot Copy (1941–44) and The Sheriff (1944–51), a continuation of Death Valley Days.

After Bond scripted the story as a teleplay, it became the first full-length play presented on network television.

In 1998 the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America made Bond an Author Emeritus.

In 2002 Bond donated his personal papers to the Marshall University library, which created a replica of his home office.
