William Bryan Dubay (January 11, 1948 – April 15, 2010), who wrote as Bill DuBay and under the pseudonyms Will Richardson and Dube, was an American, comic-book editor, writer and artist best known as editor and writer for Warren Publishing, including that company's horror-comics magazines Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella.
DuBay was the first of seven children born to Richard and Dorothy (née Lucas) DuBay, the latest in a multigenerational family line of Lucases, Searses, and Spreckles in San Francisco, California. He became interested in comics after an uncle presented him with a gift of comic albums starring the Hergé character Tintin. DuBay began in the comic book field as a fan artist whose work included writing and drawing a backup feature in the fanzine Komix Illustrated in 1964, variously writing and drawing features in the fanzines Fantasy Heroes' Hangout and The Voice of Comicdom that same year, and drawing the preexisting superhero character Powerman in the fanzine Star-Studded Comics #9 (July 1966), a black-and-white, newsprint magazine published by Texas Trio. That latter story, "The Crimes of the Transmuter", by writer Dave Bibby, was reprinted in the 1997 Hamster Press book Fandom's Finest Comics.
DuBay's earliest credited comic-book works are two satiric humor stories: the four-page Blooperman story "Bound in the Badcave", written by Gary Friedrich and appearing in Charlton Comics' Go-Go #4 (Dec. 1966), and the four-page "Adult Super-Hero Daydreams", penciled by DuBay and written by himself and Roy Thomas in Not Brand Echh #13 (May 1969). In between, he published a piece of science fiction fan art in the "Creepy Fan Club" section of Warren Publishing's Creepy #12 (Dec. 1966).
