Tony Lee (born 30 June 1970) is a British Writer . Born in Hillingdon , Middlesex , he now lives in Birmingham , West Midlands . Following many years writing short pieces for magazines, radio and television, in 2003 Tony turned his attention towards Comics . Since then, his stories have appeared under several publishers including Marvel Comics , Mongoose Publishing , Games Workshop and Panini Publishing , and he has worked on such licenses as '' X-Men '', '' Doctor Who '', '' Starship Troopers '' and '' Mark Hazzard - MERC ''. He is currently a freelance writer for a number of publishers, and on the 22nd January it was announced that he was the new Group Editor for Markosia . An ongoing '' Starship Troopers '' series by Tony Lee for Markosia was announced in November 2006. The series has begun in April 2007. Tony quit the title after issue #4 however, claiming that one of his first jobs as Group Editor was to ''fire myself after a better writer arrived.'' Labelled as ''"One of the fastest rising stars among the new generation of British comic writers"'' by Comics International , his published creator-owned work includes the critically acclaimed '' The Gloom '', and '' Midnight Kiss '', featuring Michael Moorcock 's Jerry Cornelius and the magical land of Oz . '' The Gloom '' was cancelled when the publisher, APC folded - but there is still hope that one day another publisher will publish a collected trade. Reviews for '' The Gloom '' #1 included ''"Buy this comic - sell a kidney if you have to."'' Michael Moorcock himself said of '' Midnight Kiss '' - ''"One of the richest, most original, engaging and fast-moving graphic stories of the new century. Matt Sable and Nightmare are the greatest team of Ghoul-Busters ever to hit the printed page."'' In 2007/8 his first Original Graphic Novel (OGN) for Walker Books is released - '' Robin Hood - Outlaw's Pride '', a 21st century retelling of the classic story. Art is by Sam Hart. In addition he has another OGN out in 2008 with AiT/PlanetLar called '' Dodge & Twist '' - a loosely based 'sequel' to '' Oliver Twist '' that is quoted as being ''"Oceans Eleven meets Charles Dickens"''. In November 2007 his five part series '' Hope Falls '' is released by Markosia . A supernatural thriller, art duties are performed by long time collaborator Dan Boultwood . He has adapted several novels into comics including G.P. Taylor 's '' Shadowmancer '', Wendy Alec 's '' Brothers - The Fall Of Lucifer '', Anthony Horowitz 's '' Raven's Gate '' and G.P. Taylor 's '' Tizzle Sisters ''. Outside of comics themselves, up until January 2007 Tony wrote a monthly column called ''Its Only a Comic'' for Comics International . His last issue was January's #201, when it was decided that his new position could cause conflicts with his column. From February 5th 2007, ''Two Drunk Guys In A Bar'' will be published every two weeks on alternate Mondays, on critically acclaimed Internet news site Silver Bullet Comic Books . This new column will also involve longtime collaborator Dan Boultwood . BIBLIOGRAPHY Comics Marvel
