Marley, Stephen

(1946-    ) UK author who began to publish work of genre interest with Spirit Mirror (1988), opening the Chia Black Dragon trio of dark fantasies set in old China. Of direct sf interest are his Ties to the Comics universe of Judge Dredd, these being Judge Dredd: Dreddlocked (1993) and Judge Dredd: Dread Dominion (1994). Another tie, to the Doctor Who universe, is Doctor Who: The Missing Adventures: Managra (1995). Marley has also worked in Videogame design. [DRL]
