Tony Lee

Tony Lee (born Anthony John Lee, 1970) is a British writer whose career spans comics, screenplays, audio dramas, and novels. He is best known for his work on licensed properties, particularly *Doctor Who*, where he contributed to both comic strips and audio plays, and for his original series *Dances with Demons*. Lee entered the comics industry in the early 1990s, building a reputation for versatile scripting that could adapt to established franchises while injecting his own narrative energy. His signature style blends brisk pacing with a fondness for genre mash-ups, evident in titles like *Starship Troopers: Damaged Justice*, *Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880*, and *Crystal Planet*. He frequently collaborated with artists such as Paul Grist and John Stokes. Among his notable co-creations is the steampunk reimagining of a classic space opera. Later in his career, Lee expanded into prose fiction under the pen name Jack Gatland, writing crime thrillers. He remains active in the industry, contributing to Free Comic Book Day projects and the *Del Rey Showcase*. While specific major awards are not documented in available sources, his sustained output across multiple media has made him a familiar figure in British genre comics.
