Fans and historians know Al Williamson for his highly evocative art over the last fifty years, ranging from penciling and inking stories in EC’s Weird Science-Fantasy in the ’50s to inking John Romita, Jr. on Daredevil for Marvel in the ’90s, or newspaper work including a highly respected run on the daily and Sunday Star Wars strip.

“Al Williamson is one of only a handful of top rated comic creators who have spent their entire careers working in our industry. Too often our very best talents are lured away by promises of fame and fortune in other venues. I think that Al stands as a shining example of the lifelong craftsman who works constantly to improve his already considerable talents; by the entire scope of his career he announces to every other person in the industry that this is a field fully worth the commitment of a lifetime of creations.”
