His best-known work includes DC Comics' Doctor Fate series Fate; writer Mark Millar's The Unfunnies for Avatar Press; and for Marvel Comics, the first X-Men movie adaptation, and the nine-issue run of Hokum & Hex, a superhero title created by author Clive Barker for Marvel's Razorline imprint.

Williams has additionally drawn issues of comics starring Batman, Spider-Man, Superman and Scooby-Doo, with notable work that includes Marvel's Squadron Supreme: New World Order bookshelf-format one-shot (Sept. 1998); DC's Elseworlds prestige-format one-shot "The Superman Monster" (Dec. 1999) and "Batman: Two Faces" (1998), and several issues of Games Workshop's Warhammer Monthly.
