Tommy Roddy
Tommy Roddy was born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. He now calls San Francisco home. He has always rooted for the sidekicks in the pages of his favorite comics. Though mostly a Marvel X-Men fan, the ‘80s run of the Teen Titans has a special place in his heart. Tommy was awarded with a lifetime membership in Blind LGBT Pride International (formerly BFLAG) for Pride High’s positive portrayal of a blind lesbian teen. He was a recipient of the third annual Prism Comics Queer Press Grant along with fellow San Franciscan, Justin Hall.
