Editing William Van Horn (section)

==Work==
Prior to his association with Disney, Van Horn drew and wrote the black-and-white comic book ''[[Nervous Rex]]'' for [[Blackthorne Publishing]].  Focusing on the misadventures of a small, non-violent tyrannosaurus, the series ran for ten issues, from 1985 to 1987.<ref>[http://toonopedia.com/nervous.htm ''Nervous Rex''] at [[Don Markstein's Toonopedia]].

In the first years of his career as a Disney Comics artist William often worked with [[John Lustig]] on the stories. In 1994 he did the art for [[Carl Barks]]' final script, ''[[Horsing around with History]]'', which was released in ''[[Uncle Scrooge Adventures]]'' #33 (October 1994).

Here is a list of characters William Van Horn created for the Duck universe:
* Baron Itzy Bitzy – a whistling flea that Scrooge has.
* [[Rumpus McFowl]] – Scrooge's half brother who at first was believed to be Scrooge's cousin.
* [[Woimly Filcher]] – an enemy of Donald Duck and his nephews.

He often draws a small fly or mosquito flying around his comics.
