Thomas Krieger King (born July 15, 1978) is an American author, comic book writer, and former CIA officer. He is best known for the comic books The Vision for Marvel Comics, The Sheriff of Babylon for the DC Comics imprint Vertigo, and Batman, Mister Miracle, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow for DC Comics. In 2018, King received the Eisner Award for Best Writer for his work on Batman and Mister Miracle, sharing the award with Marjorie Liu. In January 2023, DC Studios co-chairman and co-CEO James Gunn announced that King would be one of the architects of the new DC Universe media franchise of films and television. In this franchise, King's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow miniseries is set to be adapted into the film Supergirl (2026), while King serves a co-creator of the HBO series Lanterns.
