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 producing a number of series for Markosia.

An ongoing Starship Troopers series by Tony Lee for Markosia was announced in November 2006. The series will begin in April 2007.

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."[citation needed]

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."[citation needed]

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.

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.

On the 22nd January it was announced by Markosia that Tony has been promoted to Group Editor.

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.
