About Guest
Roy Thomas, the defacto protégé of Stan Lee, has been a writer and editor, primarily for Marvel or DC Comics, since being hired by Stan in 1965. Among the many comics series he has written are The Avengers, The X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Conan the Barbarian, Savage Sword of Conan, Star Wars, Invaders, All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc., Young All-Stars, Secret Origins, Arak, Son of Thunder, et al. He worked exclusively for Marvel from 1965-80 and served as editor-in-chief from 1972-74. At Marvel he co-created Wolverine, Carol Danvers, Vision, Ultron, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, Red Sonja, Werewolf by Night, The Defenders, Man-Thing, Havok, Valkyrie, Red Guardian, Adam Warlock, Morbius, the “What If?” series, Daimon Hellstrom, Dane Whitman (Black Knight), and numerous other characters.
In the 1980s he co-wrote screenplays for the films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer (and was a consultant on the first Conan the Barbarian movie) and wrote a bit of live and animated TV including The New Fantastic Four, Plastic Man, Thundarr the Barbarian, GI Joe, Xena: Warrior Princess and Conan the Adventurer (both live and animated).
He currently edits the award-winning comics-history magazine Alter Ego, writes online adventure comic strips for Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and still occasionally writes for Marvel Comics. From 2000-2019, he ghost-wrote the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip for Stan Lee, written for the German publisher Taschen, where he authored the humongous books 75 Years of Marvel: From the Golden Age to the Silver Screen (2014) and The Stan Lee Story (2018), and has written and/or selected material for numerous other comics-related volumes, including for PS Artbooks, Titan Books, Chartwell Books, DK Publishing, Abrams, and the Folio Society. Besides receiving numerous fan and pro awards over the years in the U.S. and abroad, he was elected in 2011 to the Will Eisner Hall of Fame and into the Harvey Awards Hall of fame in 2022.
He can be followed on the Roy Thomas Appreciation Board on Facebook, managed by John Cimino. He is married to Dann Thomas, with whom he has collaborated on comics. They live in rural South Carolina amid a menagerie of boisterous beasts.
