Lynn Varley is a colorist, formerly married to comic book writer/artist Frank Miller, whom she divorced in 2005.

She provided the coloring for Miller's Ronin (1984), an experimental 6 issue series from DC Comics that proved that comics in unusual formats could be commercially successful, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (1986), a four issue mini-series that went on to become a commercial and critical success.

Subsequently, Varley colored other Miller books including Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, 300, Elektra Lives Again, and Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot (with Geoff Darrow). She also colored the backgrounds for the 300 movie (2007), produced by Miller.

Varley has received recognition in the comics industry with Comics Buyer's Guide Awards for Favorite Colorist in 1986, 1999, and 2000.
