Born in New York City, he spent much of his early childhood in [[Bogotá]], Colombia before moving back to the United States at the age of 12. In his youth, Williamson developed an interest in [[comic strips]], particularly [[Alex Raymond]]'s ''[[Flash Gordon]]''. He took art classes at [[Burne Hogarth]]'s [[Cartoonists and Illustrators School]], there befriending future cartoonists [[Wally Wood]] and [[Roy Krenkel]], who introduced him to the work of illustrators who had influenced adventure strips. Before long, he was working professionally in the comics industry. His most notable works include his [[science-fiction]]/[[heroic-fantasy]] art for [[EC Comics]] in the 1950s, on titles including ''[[Weird Science (comic)|Weird Science]]'' and ''[[Weird Fantasy]]''.

In the 1960s, he gained recognition for continuing Raymond's illustrative tradition with his work on the ''Flash Gordon'' comic-book series, and was a seminal contributor to the [[Warren Publishing]]'s black-and-white [[horror comics]] magazines ''[[Creepy (magazine)|Creepy]]'' and ''[[Eerie (magazine)|Eerie]]''. Williamson spent most of the 1970s working on his own credited strip, another Raymond creation, ''[[Secret Agent X-9]]''. The following decade, he became known for his work adapting ''[[Star Wars]]'' films to comic books and newspaper strips. From the mid-1980s to 2003, he was primarily active as an [[inker]], mainly on [[Marvel Comics]] [[superhero]] titles starring such characters as [[Daredevil (Marvel Comics character)|Daredevil]], [[Spider-Man]], and [[Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker)|Spider-Girl]].

Williamson is known for his collaborations with a group of artists including [[Frank Frazetta]], Roy Krenkel, [[Angelo Torres]], and [[George Woodbridge (illustrator)|George Woodbridge]], which was affectionately known as the "Fleagle Gang". Williamson has been cited as a stylistic influence on a number of younger artists, and encouraged many, helping such newcomers as [[Bernie Wrightson]] and [[Michael Kaluta]] enter the profession. He has won several industry awards, and six career-retrospective books about him have been published since 1998. Living in Pennsylvania with his wife Corina, Williamson retired in his seventies.

Williamson was inducted into the [[List of Eisner Award winners#The Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame|Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame]] in 2000.

==Biography==

===Early life and career===
Al Williamson was born in [[Manhattan]], New York City, New York,<ref name=nytobit /> one of two children of Sally and Alfonso Williamson, who was of [[Scottish people|Scottish]] descent and a [[Colombians|Colombian]] citizen. The family relocated to [[Bogotá]], Colombia, when Al was two years old.<ref name=vanhise15>Van Hise, James. ''The Art of Al Williamson''. (San Diego, California: Blue Dolphin, 1983) ((ISBN|0-943128-04-8)), p. 15</ref> "My father was Colombian and my mother was American," Williamson said in 1997. "They met in the States, got married and went down there. I grew up down there so I learned both English and Spanish at the same time. It was comic books that taught me to read both languages."<ref name=jkc15p16>"Interview with Al Williamson," ''The Jack Kirby Collector'' #15 (April 1997), p. 16. Reprinted in ''The Collected Jack Kirby Collector Volume Three'' ([[TwoMorrows Publishing]]: |location= Raleigh, North Carolina,  1999), p. 142. ((ISBN|978-1-893905-02-3))</ref> At age nine, Williamson took an interest in comic strips via the [[List of Mexican magazines|Mexican]] magazine ''Paquin'', which featured American strips as well as ''Underwater Empire'' by [[Argentines|Argentine]] [[cartoonist]] [[Carlos Clemen]]. Later, Williamson was attracted to [[Alex Raymond]]'s ''[[Flash Gordon]]'' strip after his mother took him to see the ''[[Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe]]'' movie serial.<ref name=hurd31>Hurd, Jud, "The Al Williamson Story", ''Cartoonist Profiles'' #3 (Summer 1969), p.31</ref> While living in Bogotá he met future cartoonist Adolfo Buylla, who befriended him and gave him artistic advice.<ref>((cite book | last=Schultz | first= Mark | editor= Yeates, Thomas |editor2 = Ringgenberg, S.C. | chapter = Chapter 1: Up from South America | title = Al Williamson: Hidden Lands | page = 15| publisher = [[Dark Horse Books]]|location= Milwaukie, Oregon|year= 2004|isbn = 978-1569718162))</ref> At age 12, in 1943, Williamson moved with his mother to [[San Francisco]], California; they later moved to New York.<ref name=vanhise15 /><ref>Schultz, in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 11–15.</ref>
[[Image:AlWilliamsonearly.jpg|alt=Drawing of a young man looking intently into the eyes of a smiling young woman while holding her hand.|thumb|left|Late 1940s sketch]]   
In the mid-1940s Williamson continued to pursue his interest in cartooning and began to take art classes with ''[[Tarzan (comics)|Tarzan]]'' cartoonist [[Burne Hogarth]], and later at Hogarth's [[Cartoonists and Illustrators School]]. There he met future cartoonists [[Wally Wood]] and [[Roy Krenkel]]. According to Williamson, "Roy broadened my collecting horizons, he became my guide to all the great illustrators — the artists who directly influenced adventure cartoonists like [Alex] Raymond and [[Hal Foster|[Hal] Foster]]. He showed me [[Joseph Clement Coll|J.C. Coll]], [[Franklin Booth]], [[Joseph Franke]], [[Dan Smith (artist)|Dan Smith]], [[Norman Lindsay]], [[Fortunino Matania]], and the great ''[[Blue Book (magazine)|Blue Book]]'' illustrators like [[Herbert Morton Stoops]] and [[Frank Hoban]]."<ref>Schultz, in Yeates, Ringgenberg, p. 20.</ref> As he continued to learn about the cartooning field, he would visit the comic-book publisher [[Fiction House]], meeting such artists as [[George Evans (comics)|George Evans]], [[Bob Lubbers]], [[John Celardo]], and [[Mort Meskin]].<ref>Morrow, Jon. "Interview with Al Williamson", ''The Jack Kirby Collector'' #15 (April 1997), p. 17</ref>

Williamson's first professional work may have been helping Hogarth pencil some ''Tarzan'' Sunday pages in 1948,<ref>Schultz, in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 19–20.</ref> although Williamson, who had initially believed so, reconsidered in a 1983 interview and recalled that his ''Tarzan'' work had come after his first two pieces of comic-book art: providing spot illustrations for the story "The World's Ugliest Horse"<ref name=vanhise18>Van Hise, ''The Art of Al Williamson'', p. 18.</ref> in [[Eastern Color]]'s seminal series ''[[Famous Funnies]]'' #166 (May 1948),<ref>((cite book|editor-last1= Groth|editor-first1= Gary|author-link1= Gary Groth|title= 50 Girls 50 And Other Stories Illustrated by Al Williamson|publisher= [[Fantagraphics Books]]|date= 2013|location= Seattle, Washington|page= 238|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=boaZCgAAQBAJ&q=World%27s+Ugliest+Horse+Williamson&pg=PA238|isbn= 978-1-60699-577-8))</ref> and a two-page [[Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scouts]] story, his first comics narrative, in ''New Heroic Comics'' #51 (Nov. 1948).<ref name=vanhise18 /><ref>Strauss, Robert, "Flourishing with the Genre" in Van Hise, p. 7</ref><ref name=gcd>((gcdb|type=credit|search= Al+Williamson|title= Al Williamson))</ref> (Williamson is also identified as co-penciler, with [[Frank Frazetta]], of a three-page crime story, "The Last Three Dimes", in [[Nedor Comics|Standard Comics]]' ''Wonder Comics'' #20 [Oct. 1948].)<ref name=gcd /> Williamson explained that while Hogarth had offered him ''Tarzan'' work, Williamson "just couldn't do it. ... I couldn't get it into my little brain that he wanted me to do it exactly the way that he did it," and instead successfully recommended Celardo, artist of the [[Tarzanesque|Tarzan-like]] feature "Ka'a'nga" in [[Fiction House]]'s ''Jungle Comics''.<ref name=vanhise18 /> As Williamson recalled:
((blockquote|...Hogarth got in touch with [Celardo], and the next thing you knew, he was penciling the Sunday page for him. He did it for quite some time and something must have happened ... but at that point I was going to the Hogarth school again in the evenings ... and he asked me again if I would like to give it a try, so I said OK. He gave me a page and he had already laid it out, so I just tightened it up. Then he gave me another page that I tightened up and he inked it. Then I said I'd like to try laying it out myself and asked if I could do that, and he said, 'Go ahead, Al,' and handed me the script. So I laid that page out on a sketchpad. He said fine and just made a couple of suggestions as to what I should do; then I just did it on the big Sunday page, and when I was through, he inked it and the other one I had done the same way, and that was it.<ref name=vanhise18-19>Van Hise, ''The Art of Al Williamson'', pp. 18–19</ref>))

During this period Williamson met his main stylistic influence, Raymond: "I had just turned 18. I had been in the business about six months or so. He gave me about two hours."<ref>Roberts, Tom, "Alex Raymond" (sidebar), "Chapter 2: The Young Pro" in Yeates, Ringgenberg, p. 22</ref>

===1950s===
[[File:Race for the Moon 02 page 22.jpg|thumb|''Race for the Moon'' #2 (September 1958), art by Jack Kirby and Al Williamson.]]
From 1949 to 1951, Williamson worked on [[science-fiction]] and [[Western comics|Western]] stories for publishers such as [[American Comics Group]] (AGC), [[Avon (publishers)|Avon Publications]], [[Fawcett Comics]], [[Nedor Comics|Standard Comics]], and, possibly, [[Toby Press]].<ref name=gcd /> He began collaborating with [[Frank Frazetta]], who often inked his work; and with [[Roy Krenkel]], who often did backgrounds.<ref>Ringgenberg, S.C., "Chapter 3: EC" in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 23–35</ref> Examples of his work from that period include "Chief Victorio's Last Stand", in Avon's ''Chief Victorio's Apache Massacre'' (no number, no month, 1951); "Death in Deep Space", in [[Magazine Enterprises]]' ''Jet'' #4 (no month, 1951); and "Skull of the Sorcerer", in ACG's ''[[Forbidden Worlds]]'' #3 (Dec. 1951), inked by [[Wally Wood]].<ref name=gcd /><ref>Williamson, in Van Hise, p. 19, credits the inking on "Skull of the Sorcerer" to Wood, [[Joe Orlando]], [[Frank Frazetta]]. and himself.</ref>

In 1952, upon the suggestion of artists Wally Wood and [[Joe Orlando]],<ref>Spurlock, David. ''Wally Wood Sketchbook''. (Lebanon, New Jersey: Vanguard Productions, 1998) p. 103</ref> Williamson began working for [[EC Comics]], an influential comic book company with a reputation for quality artists.<ref>Ringgenberg in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 76–77</ref> While at EC, Williamson frequently collaborated with fellow artists Frank Frazetta, Roy Krenkel and [[Angelo Torres]], a group which, along with [[Nick Meglin]] and [[George Woodbridge (illustrator)|George Woodbridge]], became affectionately known as the "Fleagle Gang", named after a notorious criminal gang.<ref>Ringgenberg in Yeates, Ringgenberg,  p. 50</ref>  Williamson primarily worked on EC's science-fiction comics ''[[Weird Science (comic)|Weird Science]]'', ''[[Weird Fantasy]]'', and ''[[Weird Science-Fantasy]]'', illustrating both original stories, primarily by writer [[Al Feldstein]], and adaptations of stories by authors such as [[Ray Bradbury]]<ref>For example, "A Sound of Thunder" in ''Weird Science-Fantasy'' #25(Sept. 1954)</ref> and [[Harlan Ellison]],<ref>For example, "Upheaval", an adaptation of Ellison's "Mealtime", in ''Weird Science-Fantasy'' #24 (June 1954). It was Ellison's first comic book work: ((cite web|url=http://www.sequentialellison.com/bibliography/?p=35 |title=''Weird Science-Fantasy'' #24 |date=n.d. |publisher=Sequentialellison.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203021709/http://www.sequentialellison.com/bibliography/?p=35 |archive-date=December 3, 2013 |url-status=live))</ref> but his work occasionally appeared in EC's [[horror fiction|horror]] and [[crime comics]] as well.

Williamson worked at EC through 1956 until the cancellation of most of the company's line. Williamson's EC art has been lauded for its illustrative flamboyance, evident in such stories as "I, Rocket", in ''Weird Fantasy'' #20 (Aug. 1953), co-penciled and co-inked with Frank Frazetta; and "50 Girls 50", in ''Weird Science'' #20 (Aug. 1953), co-inked by Williamson and Frazetta.<ref name=gcd /><ref>Strauss, in Van Hise pp. 9–10, singles out "I, Rocket" and "50 Girls 50" as stylistic breakthroughs.</ref> His final published EC story was the 10-page "A Question of Time", in ''[[Shock Illustrated]]'' #2 (Feb. 1956) with partial inking by Torres, who put his initials on the last page.<ref name=gcd /> In the fall of 1956, writer [[Larry Ivie]] introduced Williamson to future comics writers-editor [[Archie Goodwin (comics)|Archie Goodwin]], with whom he would become friends and, later, a frequent collaborator. Williamson eventually helped Goodwin enter the comics field, having him script a [[Harvey Comics]] story, "The Hermit", penciled by [[Reed Crandall]] and inked by Williamson.<ref>Feduniewicz, Ken, and Yeates, Thomas, "Chapter 5: Fade-Out on the Fifties" in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 193–194</ref>

From 1955 to 1957, Williamson produced over 400 pages of three-to-five-page stories for [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]], the 1950s forerunner of [[Marvel Comics]], working in various genres but primarily [[Western comics|Westerns]]. He continued to collaborate with Torres and Krenkel, as well as with [[Gray Morrow]], George Woodbridge and Ralph Mayo.<ref name="Yeates, T. 2004">Yeates, Thomas, "Chapter 4: Atlas" in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 81–84</ref> With Mayo, one of the first editors to give Williamson work, at [[Nedor Comics|Standard Comics]], Williamson collaborated on the [[Jungle girl (stock character)|jungle girl]] series ''[[Jann of the Jungle]]'' #16–17 (April and June 1957). Following Mayo's death, Williamson drew stories solo for the planned #18, but the series was abruptly canceled before that issue could be published.<ref>Yeates, Thomas, "Chapter 4: Atlas" in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 147–153</ref> His "prolific though somewhat uneven two-year stint at Atlas",<ref name=strauss11-12>Strauss, pp. 11–12</ref> where he first drew [[war comics]], yielded superlative art in such stories as "The City That Time Forgot", in ''[[Marvel Tales (1949–1957)|Marvel Tales]]'' #144 (March 1956); "Menace from the Stars", in ''[[Mystery Tales]]'' #44 (Aug. 1956); "The Unknown Ones", in ''Astonishing'' #57 (Jan. 1957); "Dreadnaught", in ''Navy Tales'' #2 (March 1957); and "Helpless", in ''Battle'' #55 (Nov. 1957).<ref name=gcd /><ref name=strauss11-12 /><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.atlastales.com/cr/131/n:131:z:a:o:4:d:ASC:p:1 |title=Al Williamson credits |date=n.d. |publisher=Atlas Tales |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202232206/http://www.atlastales.com/cr/131/n%3A131%3Az%3Aa%3Ao%3A4%3Ad%3AASC%3Ap%3A1 |archive-date=December 2, 2013 |url-status=live))</ref> While "something appeared to be missing from a lot of his Atlas work: enthusiasm," Williamson's Atlas Westerns, at least, "form a strongly consistent body of work, characterized by minimal to nonexistent action, a preponderance of closeups and reaction shots, and well-defined figures set against sparse backgrounds."<ref name=strauss11-12 />

From 1958 to 1959 Williamson worked for [[Harvey Comics]] collaborating with former EC artists Reed Crandall, Torres and Krenkel and inking the pencils of [[Jack Kirby]] (for ''Race to the Moon'' #2–3 and ''Blast-Off'' #1).  On inking Kirby, Williamson relates: "I remember going up to Harvey and getting work there. They said, 'We haven't got any work for you, but we have some stories here that Jack penciled. Do you want to ink them?' I'd never really inked anybody else before, but I said, 'Sure,' because I looked at the stuff, and thought, I can follow ''this'', it's all there. I inked it and they liked it, and they gave me three or four stories to do."<ref>Morrow, Jon. "Interview with Al Williamson", ''The Jack Kirby Collector'' #15 (April 1997), p. 18</ref>

Additionally, Williamson drew stories for ''[[Classics Illustrated]]'' (in collaboration with Crandall and Woodbridge); [[Canaveral Press]]'s line of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] books (inked by Crandall);<ref name="DAK62"/> Westerns for [[Dell Comics]] (including ''Gunsmoke'' #8–12) and [[Charlton Comics]], including two complete issues of the Cheyenne Kid (#10–11) with Angelo Torres, and science-fiction stories for ACG, including "The Vortex", in ''Forbidden Worlds'' #69 (1958).<ref name="Yeates, T. 2004" /> He also worked with former EC artist [[John Severin]] on the "American Eagle" feature in ''Prize Comics Western'' #109 and #113 (1955).

Williamson's work during this decade was his most prolific in terms of comic book work and has garnered considerable praise for its high quality.<ref>Strauss, p. 13</ref> He has been noted for his perfectionism and love for the medium.<ref>Barlow, R.(1972) ''EC Lives!''. E.C. Fan-Addict Club: New York, p. 33</ref> Despite its high reputation, S.C. Ringgenberg felt that Williamson's artwork from this period could at times be uneven and uninspired.<ref>Ringgenberg, S.C., "Chapter 3: EC" in Yeates, Ringgenberg, pp. 46–48</ref> Williamson was single during this period and, according to ''The Art of Al Williamson'', had a bohemian and undisciplined lifestyle.<ref name=vanhise45>Van Hise, ''The Art of Al Williamson'', p. 45</ref>

===1960s===
In 1960, with little work to be found in the comic book field due to a downturn in the industry, he went to work as an assistant to [[John Prentice (cartoonist)|John Prentice]] on the Alex Raymond-created comic strip ''[[Rip Kirby]]'' for a three-year period.<ref name="Yeates, T. 2004" /> According to Williamson: "The reason that I was called in to help him out was that John had decided to go to Mexico and Mac <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Al McWilliams]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, John's prior assistant, didn't want to go... The deal was: would I be willing to go to Mexico?... and I said 'Si!'..."<ref>Feduniewicz, K. and Yeates, T., 'Williamson conquers the universe! ,''Third Rail'' #1 (June 1981), p.3</ref> It proved to be a solid learning period for Williamson, as he credits Prentice with teaching him many fundamental illustration methods.<ref>Van Hise, ''The Art of Al Williamson'', 30</ref> According to Prentice: "...he was terrific. He's the best guy I ever had by far."<ref>Van Hise, ''The Art of Al Williamson'', p. 65</ref> During that time, Williamson assisted [[John Cullen Murphy]] on the ''[[Big Ben Bolt]]'' boxing strip and [[Don Sherwood (cartoonist)|Don Sherwood]] on the strip ''[[Dan Flagg]]''.<ref>Hurd, p. 32</ref> He produced some sample pages for a proposed [[Sunday strip]] version of ''[[Modesty Blaise]]''.<ref>((cite web | url= http://profmendez.tripod.com/html/modesty3a.htm |title=Madame X: Peter O'Donnell and Jim Holdaway's Modesty Blaise |access-date=November 4, 2009 |first=A.

He returned to comics in 1965 doing one story each in [[Gold Key Comics]]' ''[[Ripley's Believe It or Not!]]'' #1 (June 1965), ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' #12 (Aug. 1965), and ''[[Boris Karloff]] Tales of Mystery'' #11 (Sept. 1965), and helped launch [[Warren Publishing]]'s black-and-white horror-comics magazines ''[[Creepy (magazine)|Creepy]]'' and ''[[Eerie (magazine)|Eerie]]'' with several stories in early issues, while contributing to Warren's [[war comics]] magazine ''[[Blazing Combat]]''. He was instrumental in recruiting other former [[EC Comics]] artists as Frazetta, Krenkel, Torres, Crandall, and Evans, as well as artist [[Gray Morrow]] and writer-editor [[Archie Goodwin (comics)|Archie Goodwin]].<ref>Goodwin, Archie, "The Black & White World of Warren Publications", ''[[Comic Book Artist]]'' #4 (Spring 1999), p.9</ref>

In 1966, he drew the first issue (Sept. 1966) of a new ''[[Flash Gordon]]'' comic book series, published by [[King Features]]. Williamson's work received positive reader response, and returned to draw issues #4–5 (March and May 1967), as well as the cover of #3 (Jan. 1967).

Williamson helped assemble the first major book on Alex Raymond's ''Flash Gordon'', published by [[Woody Gelman|Nostalgia Press]] in 1967, and wrote the introduction.<ref>Ringgenberg, "Al Williamson Interviewed", p. 88</ref> In 1969, [[Wally Wood]]'s alternative-press comic book ''[[witzend]]'' #1 published Williamson's "Savage World", a 1956 story originally drawn for a [[Buster Crabbe]] comic book that had been cancelled.

A comic book adaptation of the [[Dino De Laurentiis]]' film, ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]],'' written by Bruce Jones and illustrated by Al Williamson, was released by Western Publishing in both hardcover and softcover formats to coincide with the film's release. A photograph of actor [[Sam J. Jones]], who played Flash Gordon, was pasted into the original cover art.

Returning to comic books full-time for the first time since 1959, Williamson began work for [[Pacific Comics]], collaborating with writer [[Bruce Jones (comics)|Bruce Jones]] for the ''[[Alien Worlds]]'' title (#1, 4, 8), and "Cliff Hanger", a six-issue adventure-strip backup feature in the ''[[Somerset Holmes]]'' [[miniseries]].

Following the expiration of his contract on the ''Star Wars'' newspaper strip, Williamson found that the weight of doing both pencil and inks suddenly became stressful to him, drastically reducing his output.<ref name="DAK62">((cite news | last = Zimmerman | first = Dwight Jon | date = November 1988 | title = Al Williamson | work = [[Comics Interview]] | issue = 62 | pages = 43–59 | publisher = [[Fictioneer Books]]))</ref> As a response to this, in the mid-1980s Williamson made a successful transition to becoming strictly an [[inker]], beginning at DC Comics inking [[Curt Swan]] on ''Superman'' #408–410 and #412–416. The longtime Man of Steel artist would later describe Williamson as "his favorite inker".<ref>((cite book|last = Zeno|first = Eddy.|chapter= New Glories in the '80s and '90s|title = Curt Swan A Life in Comics|publisher = [[J.

[[John Romita Sr.]], Marvel's [[art director]] during that time, considered Williamson to be "one of the best pencillers in the world but he really can't make a living at penciling because he wants to do these beautifully pencilled pages with ample time to do them.

Williamson provided the covers and additional artwork for [[Dark Horse Comics]]' 20-issue ''[[Classic Star Wars]]'' (Aug. 1992 – June 1994), which reprinted his ''[[Star Wars]]'' daily strips. He later inked the ''[[Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace]]'' and ''[[Star Wars (film)|A New Hope]]'' film adaptations for the company.  Through 2003, he was active as inker on several [[Marvel Comics]] titles, including [[Daredevil (Marvel Comics series)|''Daredevil'']] (#248–300), ''[[Spider-Man 2099]]'' (#1–25), and ''[[Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker)|Spider-Girl]]'' (#1–61), and such non-superhero projects as the four-issue Marvel / [[Epic Comics]] [[miniseries]] ''[[Atomic Age (comics)|Atomic Age]]'' (Nov. 1990 – Feb. 1991), by writer [[Frank Lovece]] and penciler [[Mike Okamoto]], one of the works for which Williamson won a 1991 [[Eisner Award]] for Best Inker. ''Daredevil'' penciler [[John Romita Jr.]] recalled that, "Working with Al Williamson was much like working with my father [comics artist [[John Romita Sr.]]] in that I felt that I was protected from mistakes. ... If my art wasn't correct, then Al would repair it.
