Billy Walters

Billy Walters is a Marvel supporting character who stepped onto the scene in 1997, born from the creative partnership of Todd DeZago and Mike Wieringo in The Sensational Spider-Man — a title that was very much at the heart of the web-slinger's world during the Modern Age. Over roughly fifteen years, Billy carved out a modest but genuine niche in Spider-Man's corner of the Marvel Universe, popping up across The Spectacular Spider-Man and the notable Spider-Man: Identity Crisis alongside a who's who of Spidey's inner circle — Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, Flash Thompson, and even J. Jonah Jameson himself. With only eight catalog appearances he's a deep-cut find rather than a headliner, but for collectors who love the texture and humanity of Spider-Man's street-level supporting cast, Billy Walters is exactly the kind of character that makes those late-'90s and 2000s issues worth hunting down.
