Billy

Billy made his entrance in the pages of Epic #1 in 1992, a Copper Age debut from Marvel that placed him in vivid, ambitious company — sharing those early issues with a cast as eclectic as Colonel Carter Tiernan, Dr. Tachyon, and a handful of other memorable figures. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Billy is the kind of quietly intriguing presence that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter — a character whose story feels tantalizingly compact, brought to life by the creative team of Dan Chichester and William Simpson at a moment when Marvel's Epic line was pushing boundaries and taking chances.
