Bio: Best known for his critically acclaimed and oft-reprinted work on DC Comics' Scooby-Doo, Terrance Griep has left his distinct mark on such icons Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern for that same company, as well. He also contributes to numerous titles for Image Comics. Further, Terrance has scribed his own super-hero creations, The Skulker and Johnny Cosmic, both of whom have enjoyed success at various publishers. Current and recent projects include Witchgirls, Inc., and Tales of the Arcane from Heroic Publishing. A member of the Prism Comics' Advisory Board, he is a writer of that organization's frequently-hit Queer Eye on Comics web feature.

For General Mills, Terrance has written several comic strips which featured BuzzBee, the Honey Nut Cheerios mascot. That work was ingested by tens of millions of bleary-eyed readers, appearing in places as varied as cereal boxes and theme park place mats. Terrance also regularly and recklessly ventures into the realm of writing words without pictures. He's worked as a reporter, reviewer, and columnist for a myriad of newspapers and magazines, most notably OUT, The Advocate, Instinct and Star Trek Monthly.

Terrance has written, directed, produced, and performed a series of regular radio plays which were heard in twenty different markets, ranging from San Diego to Toronto to New York. Currently, he works for Midwest Pro Wrestling and NeoPro Wrestling as bad guy performer and commentator Tommy "The SpiderBaby" Saturday. The International Gay Outdoors Organization recently named him one of the Nine Toughest Gay Guys in America. For precisely one day, he served as Crunch, the Minnesota Timberwolves' lupine mascot. His hobby is working.

"VOTING AND COMPLAINING"
[Queer Eye on Comics, Posted 8/22/10]
In this American republic, the most obvious form of expression is the vote. The vote, in fact, externalizes the voter's internal self: her motives, her methods, her mentality. Where national elections are concerned, it's no exaggeration to say that voting is exerting, in some small measure, the ballot-caster's identity onto the whole country. So important is the vote that its dearth has borne an aphorism: "If you don't vote, you can't complain." And August 26th marks the 90th anniversary…

DOOM AND BLOOM
[Queer Eye on Comics, Posted 6/13/10]
During this month o' Pride, it's worth noting that before the Stonewall Riots, opponents to LGBT rights were the only faction afforded dependable access to the popular consciousness. On the rare occasion that LGBT issues emerged at all during the first half of the 20th Century, those selfsame issues were beat back with a torrent of lies and fear. In their way, then, the Stonewall Riots were about the LGBT pulling its voice from the rhetorical void, pulling it from a sheath of silence, then…

"COMPANION AND COMMUNITY"
[Queer Eye on Comics, Posted 4/4/10]
Languishing in post-Puritan America, every LGBT citizen feels like an icky, outer space alien from time to time...although, hmmm, come to think of it, our breederly bros and hos are likewise no strangers to the occasionally-universal feeling of zagging when everyone else is, um, yanging. Short-term mitigations of this feeling are ambient and abundant--flamenco-ing on the sarsaparilla bar at the local lavender liquor lounge while all goofed up on amyl nitrite and wearing nothing but police…

"HEARTS AND MINDS"
[Queer Eye on Comics, Posted 11/22/09]
Every good, patriotic, credit-card-out-maxing American knows that the official start of the Holiday Season*, as evidenced by the advertising efforts of Our Fine Corporate Masters Blessed Be Their Names, is July 5th...but this is the time of year when All Things Yuley shift into fifth gear. * "The Holiday Season" is the term that used to be known as "Christmas with a soupçon of Hanukkah and just what the green-and-red hell is Kwanzaa, anyway?" Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths (which…
