From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, William Potter played bass in Top 30 indie band CUD while writing and drawing “Nommo” for seminal UK music/comics anthology Deadline. On leaving the band, Will worked as a writer, editor and artist for numerous licensed-character magazines and partworks featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Captain Scarlet and Spongebob Squarepants, plus the DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection and Marvel Fact Files. 

In 2017, with CUD having reformed, he began collaborating with fellow Deadline alumnus Philip Bond on a comic-strip unreliable biography of the band, Rich and Strange, followed by the ongoing crowdfunded satiric Britpop book, Geezer. 

Will has also written 50-odd non-fiction books for kids, including The Ultimate Guide to Creating Comics, How To Create Fantasy Art and the cartoon factual series, Professor Kat’s Science Facts, launched in 2024.
