Roy Thomas (born November 22, 1940 in Missouri, United States) is a comic book writer and editor and the first successor to Stan Lee as Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics. He is perhaps best known for introducing the pulp hero Conan the Barbarian to the American comic book world, with a series that expanded the story of Robert E. Howard's character and started a sword-and-sorcery trend in comics. Thomas is also known for his advocacy of Golden Age comic book heroes—particularly the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America—and for his extended writing stints on Marvel's X-Men and Avengers, and DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, among other titles.
