He co-created with Russell, an Eisner- and Harvey-winning one-shot for Marvel Comics featuring Dr. Strange entitled What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen?
In 1996, he directed a production of Joe Orton's Loot for the Weathervane Theater in Akron.
In 1997 he co-created (with Jay Geldhof and Galen Showman) The Lost, a Harvey-nominated comics mini-series which continued the story of Peter Pan in modern times, with the protagonist presented as an amoral vampiric boy prostitute.[2]
In 2004 he began writing DC Comics' Manhunter series, relaunching it with a third volume, in which he (with artist Jesus Saiz) introduced the character of Kate Spencer, the first woman to carry the long-running "Manhunter" legacy. He also created Spencer's civilian business partner Damon Matthews, who is in a romantic relationship with superhero Obsidian, one of the few gay-identified couples in mainstream superhero comics.[3] The series ran for 38 issues,[4] and Andreyko went on to write a Manhunter back-up feature in DC Comics' Batman: Streets of Gotham monthly series shortly afterward.
In September 2013, after the creative team of J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman announced their departure from Batwoman, DC co-publisher Dan Didio announced Andreyko as the new writer of the series, starting with issue No. 25.[7] He continued as writer until the series' end with issue No. 40.
In October 2014, Andreyko was announced as the writer of DC Comics series Wonder Woman '77, set in continuity with the Lynda Carterseries.[8]
Since 2016 Marc Andreyko has been a competitor on the Movie Trivia Schmoedown dubbed "The Android" and on May 31, 2019, Andreyko and his Tag Team Partner Jeff Sneider of the team known as "The Odd Couple" were crowned Tag Team Championship. He is also the first openly gay competitor to win the championship making it the first time in the show's history that a competitor from the LGBT Community has been crowned a Schmoedown Champion.
Personal life
Andreyko lives in Los Angeles.[2] He is openly gay.[9]
