Freelance writer Tony Smith lives in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania with his partner Jim and their Superbeagle Molly and hasn’t had a real firm grasp on reality since he was six-years old. Even when he does get a grasp on reality, he tends to behave like a six-year-old.

Tony contributed four stories and edited the inaugural issue of Queerbait, an LGBT comic book anthology featuring a diverse collection of stories by comics’ next generation of writers and artists. Issue #1 is available for sale at IndyPlanet and Issue #2 will be published soon by Carabosse Comics.

He has also written stories for Prism Comics, Fan-Atic Press and Twisted Gate Entertainment. Currently, he also writes freelance articles and comic book creator interviews for Associated Content and PrintNPost and will be contributing stories to future issues of Queerbait.

Queeroes is his latest project, an ongoing webcomic that will feature eight page “episodes” spotlighting each of the 12 main characters. Each episode ties into the overall seasonal story arc, which is expected to run about 36 episodes. Smith promises big surprises with Queeroes, including a super-powered drag queen, a REAL fairy, and the hottest gay cowboy since Jake Gylenhall.

His future plans includes further development of a screenplay which he describes as “Buffy meets Office Space”, more Flaming Arrow stories, and repeatedly sending Joss Whedon Father’s Day gifts until Joss formally adopts him. Letters in electronic crayon should be sent to tonysmith@queeroes.com.
