Bill you're an amazing man to overcome this bullshit in life...and your artwork is brilliant. You're my inspiration since I was young reading new mutants, moon knight. I'm an artist/ illustrator because of you man.🙏🏻💯👍🏻 You're definitely the best.

Dear Bill, I've loved your illustration and comics for 25+ years, which is the span of time that I read comics as a teen, went to art school, graduate school, and became an university art professor. Thanks so much for continuing to inspire!

Around this time, Bill was drawing at a table at a small con in Philly in the basement of the Sheraton. When I saw his nameplate, I ran to find another copy of Moon Knight #1 which hadn’t been out for all that long and may have cost .50 cents. He could not have been cooler and I may have shared that a group of us in high school were major fans of the title and his work as he moved into his own and set comic art on it’s head. He then kindly signed the inside first page which was pretty customary for the time. Mocking up covers with huge signatures was not a thing, plus, much of his cover art has nice full signatures or the initials in a box. Sooo glad he is still going strong.

I live in Thunder Bay. Very weird to have this on in the background, listening to one of my artistic idols and hear your little, middle of nowhere town come up. Strange.
