Toastmaster – John Jackson Miller

New York Times bestselling author John Jackson Miller has spent a lifetime immersed in science fiction and comics, both as a fan and as a creator. After working in fanzines, he joined Don and Maggie Thompson at Comics Buyer’s Guide where he also edited Comics & Games Retailer magazine, Scrye magazine, and the Standard Catalog of Comic Books series.

Miller moved into professional comics writing in 2003 with Crimson Dynamo for Marvel, which led to a year writing Iron Man. That work led to a long association with Lucasfilm, including novels, comics, and games. His Star Wars novels include the Scribe Award-winning Kenobi, as well as A New Dawn, Knight Errant, and Lost Tribe of the Sith. He wrote comics for the latter two — and he wrote the entire Knights of the Old Republic comics series (available from Marvel as Legends: The Old Republic). He also wrote the comics adaptation for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Star Trek novels followed,  include Picard: Rogue Elements, the Scribe Award-winning Discovery – Die Standing, Discovery – The Enterprise War, the Prey trilogy, and Takedown. He also wrote comics and prose for properties including Halo, The Lion King, The Simpsons, Conan, Planet of the Apes, and Mass Effect. His Battlestar Galactica: Counterstrike graphic novel won the 2020 Dragon Award.
