William Young

A supporting player born in the thick of Marvel's Bronze Age action boom, William Young made his first appearance in Master of Kung Fu #29 in 1975, courtesy of the sharp creative partnership of Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy. He moves in genuinely electric company — sharing pages with Shang-Chi, Clive Reston, Black Jack Tarr, Doctor Petrie, and the dangerous Razor-Fist across one of Marvel's most stylish and underappreciated series of the era. With a presence that has stretched remarkably from 1975 all the way to 2024, including a nod in the Iron Fist 50th Anniversary Special, Young is a quiet testament to how richly populated the world of Master of Kung Fu truly was — and why collectors who dig into that corner of the Marvel universe keep finding rewarding discoveries.
