Tony Lee - A New York Times Best Seller!
Tony Lee, writer of Markosia titles 'Midnight Kiss', 'Hope Falls', 'From the Pages of Bram Stoker's Dracula: Harker', 'The Doppleganger Chronicles' and 'Starship Troopers' has made it to number 1 on The New York Times best Seller list for 'Pride, Prejudice & Zombies: The Graphic Novel'.
This is a huge achievement and one that Tony richly deserves. He has made a name for himself as one of the foremost adapters of novels into the graphic novel medium and we would like to congratulate him on this accolade.
We've been saying it for years now, Tony Lee is an outstanding and hugely under-rated writer. Well, we've been proven correct and can now point to the evidence!
Well done Tony, great work!
