Billy Graham was a remarkable artist whose work in comics ranged from the early days of Warren Publications’ horror tales (including Vamperella), to his years with Marvel Comics working on such books as Luke Cage and the Black Panther (1972-1976), and Eclipse Magazine, where he drew Don McGregor’s Sabre series.. Working as a penciler and inker, Billy’s talents embellished the works of such artists as John Romita Sr., and George Tuska; and such writers as Doug Moench and Don McGregor. Billy Graham was also and actor and a playwright. He passed away in 1999.
- The Color of Comics exhibitions seeks to show the diversity of characters of color in comic so that young people will see themselves represented in this art form, and educators will find it a rich source of images and cultural contexts for classroom discussions.

His artwork inspired me. I became an instant fan… and gave me hope.
that I, too, one day could become an Comic Book Artist.
He truly was a remarkable artist, and a pioneer in the field. His interpretation of the Black Panther was the best there’s been to date.
