Lilah Sturges[1] (/ˈstɜːrdʒɪz/; born October 2, 1970) is an American writer of comics and fantasy novels. She is best known for co-writing with Bill Willingham the Eisner-award-nominated Jack of Fables, and other comics published by Vertigo Comics / DC Comics.[2]

Career

In the 1990s, Sturges was a member of the writers' collective Clockwork Storybook, which also included Willingham, Chris Roberson, and Mark Finn.[3]

Beginning in 2006, she and Willingham co-wrote the 50-issue Jack of Fables (a spin-off from Willingham's popular Fables series). In 2008 she began writing the 42-issue House of Mystery as well.[4][5][6] After signing an exclusive deal with DC Comics later that year,[7][8] Sturges wrote Blue Beetle from #29[9] to its end with #36,[10] and Final Crisis Aftermath: Run! featuring the Human Flame.[11][12][13] In 2009 she partnered again with Willingham writing Justice Society of America beginning with issue #29.[14][15]

She is the author of two novels—Midwinter (2009)[16] and its sequel The Office of Shadow (2010)—and a book of short horror fiction, Beneath the Skin and Other Stories (2000).

Personal life

Sturges was born in October 1970, assigned male gender. In December 2016, Sturges announced via her Twitter and Facebook accounts that she is a transgender woman, and has adopted the name Lilah. She has two daughters, Emerson and Camille Sturges.[1][17]
