| Bio: | The official bit -
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, British and American Television 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 comic work. He thinks that apart from himself, only one or two others still have this. He pays them a lot of money to keep it this way.
Moving away from comics, he went back into trade journalism and media marketing. 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 2003, he has written for a variety of publishers including Marvel Comics (X-Men, Amazing Fantasy), Games Workshop (Warhammer Monthly), Panini Comics (Doctor Who), Mongoose Publishing (Starship Troopers), Titan Publishing (Wallace & Gromit Magazine), Markosia Enterprises (The Gloom, Midnight Kiss, Shadowmancer, Brothers - The Fall of Lucifer, Tizzle Sisters, Hope Falls). Markosia also re-printed his Starship Troopers trilogy as a 12 part maxi-series of three four-part arcs, and he wrote a further four issues of the ongoing series before passing it on. Added to this he agreed to adapt Anthony Horowitz's Power of Five series into graphic format for Walker Books, the first - Raven's Gate is due out in 2008. The second, Evil Star is already scripted. With Sam Hart, he is writing a new Graphic Novel - Robin Hood: Outlaw's Pride, due out 2008.
With Paul Peart he has a new Graphic Novel out from AiT/PlanetLar in 2008 named Dodge & Twist, a story of the characters of Oliver Twist, twelve years on.
In November, a five part supernatural thriller named Hope Falls starts from Markosia, with art by Dan Boultwood.
He is also writing several books including King Bill - And the Spirit of Albion, the first part of an ongoing book series and Conversations With My Mother.
His column Two Drunk Guys In A Bar (with Dan Boultwood) is also available alternate Mondays from Silver Bullet Comic Books.
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 Birmingham with a large collection of trashy books and films.
