Billy Tan Mung Khoy is a Malaysian comic book artist who has built a substantial career across both major American publishers over more than three decades. Working primarily as a penciler and inker, he has contributed to well over 280 issues since the mid-1990s, demonstrating a versatility that spans superhero epics and creator-driven projects alike.

Tan first gained wider attention through his work on Top Cow titles, including *Witchblade* and *Spirit of the Tao*, the latter representing some of his more distinctive early output in terms of tone and subject matter. He subsequently moved into Marvel's higher-profile publishing line, contributing to *The Uncanny X-Men* and *New Avengers*, where his dynamic figure work and clean storytelling found a broad readership. His run on DC's *Green Lantern* stands among his most recognized assignments, placing him on one of the publisher's flagship titles during an eventful period for the character.

Across his career, Tan has worked in multiple roles — penciling, inking, coloring, and occasionally writing — reflecting a well-rounded command of the craft. His longevity in an industry that cycles through artists quickly speaks to the consistency and reliability he brings to collaborative work. No major awards are documented in the available record, but his sustained presence on marquee titles at both Marvel and DC confirms a career of genuine professional standing.
