Tony Lee

關於我：

Tony Lee was born in West London, UK in 1970. Informed by a teacher that he had a comic book style of writing, (a comment meant more as an insult), Tony decided that one day he would write for comics. Tony has written for a variety of mediums including Radio 4, The BBC, commerical television in both the UK and US, magazines and both local and national newspapers. He has also written several award winning local radio campaigns. In 1991 he wrote for a small press comics publisher, of which only one project, The Cost of Miracles in Comic Speculator News was ever printed, and remains his first printed commercial comic work.

Moving away from comics, he went back into trade journalism and media marketing/creation. His small press magazine Burnt Offerings was a minor seller on both sides of the Atlantic, and was the first esoteric magazine to interview mainstream creators like Terry Pratchett and Pat Mills.

Since returning to comics in 2002, he has written for a variety of publishers including Marvel Comics, Games Workshop, Panini Comics, Titan Publishing , AAM/Markosia Enterprises, Rebellion/2000ad and IDW Publishing amongst others, writing a variety of creator owned titles and licenses that include X-Men, Spider Man, Doctor Who, Starship Troopers, Wallace & Gromit and Shrek.

Current work includes stories for Amazing Spider Man Family, and the ongoing Doctor Who series for IDW. His recent miniseries, Doctor Who: The Forgotten was received to critical acclaim by both reviewers and readers alike.

 In May the collected trade of his award nominated Hope Falls is released by AAM/Markosia. In late 2009 and 2010 Tony has a variety of titles out including both Journal: A Graphic Romance and Dodge & Twist out from AiT/PlanetLar, the superhero parody MILF Magnet for Moonstone and both Necrophim and Citi Def from 2000ad / Judge Dredd: The Megazine .

Added to this, Tony is adapting Anthony Horowitz's Power of Five series into graphic format for Walker Books, the first - Raven's Gate is due out in late 2010. His other book with them, Outlaw: The Legend Of Robin Hood, drawn by Sam Hart came out in June 2009. He developed several stories for The DFC, a weekly Children's comic in connection with Random House. The first, The Prince Of Baghdad began book one in August 2008 It was due to be followed by the second, St Spooky's School For Girls later in 2009, but in March 2008 The DFC ended.

Outside of comics he is writing several books.

Tony is represented by Julian Friedmann of the Blake Friedmann Literary, TV and Film Agency.

Tony is also an accomplished Bard and performer, and has held the High Bard chair of the East Sussex Broomstick Rally on several occasions. His lecture Creating Gods for fun and Profit and his series of lectures on Bards and Ritual Magic were received to critical acclaim, and he still lectures occasionally in London, the Midlands and Sussex. As a Covent Garden Street Performer in the 90's, he performed 'The Scarlet Blade' Street Theatre show at the Edinburgh Festival and at locations across the UK, convincing members of the public to act out an insane pantomime for his amusement.

Added to this Tony is an accomplished Storyteller, and has performed at libraries, campfires, events and schools across the country - and in 2003 around the Wadi Rum bedouin campfire in Jordan.

Tony currently lives in London with his fiancée Tracy, with a large collection of trashy books and films.
