Artist Profile

A career in context

Billy Tan’s Marvel work includes Uncanny X-Men: The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire, collaborating with writer Ed Brubaker on a story that takes the team into space. His bibliography also includes X-23, New Avengers, and X-Men Legends.

At DC, Tan contributed interiors and covers to Green Lantern, including the period collected in Dark Days, Test of Wills, and Renegade. He also worked on New Super-Man. These credits connect his career across major superhero franchises at both publishers.

CoverLineage noteX-Men Legends #9 brings Tan into the Incredible Hulk #340 lineage. That cover connects his work on the X-Men to a visual reference originally built around Wolverine and the Hulk.
