Wilson's work also appeared in The Avengers, Captain America, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, Iron Man, and What If.
In 1990, Wilson illustrated an issue of Urth 4 with Continuity Comics, and then returned to Marvel to do WCW World Championship Wrestling in 1992-1993. His work appeared regularly in Marvel Comics Presents in the years 1992–1994.
