The episode focuses on a two-page spread he illustrated for "Ghost Rider #1," written by Felipe Smith, with colors by Val Staples.
There were the multiple covers and merchandise he illustrated for psychedelic rock band, MGMT; a stint as creative consultant for the Original Penguin brand; and the line of retro-inspired denim, Lips Jeans, that he co-founded in Brooklyn.
The two Archie Goodwin stories he illustrated for Epic Illustrated ("Relic" in issue #27, 1984; and "Out of Phase", in #34, 1986) have been considered to be some of his finest work, and Williamson himself named "Relic" as one of his best works.

What reputation he has rests on a handful of short stories he illustrated in 1954 and 1955 for EC comics (the folks who brought you Tales from the Crypt and Mad), but one of those stories, "Master Race," was an accomplishment of the highest order — a masterpiece.
