Moving to the San Francisco Bay Area (the heart of the underground comix industry), in his late twenties, Fuller came up with the idea of an "authentic" African-American superhero, Ebon.
Bill, and then ended up drawing Ebon himself, "swiping" many poses from established superhero artists like Gil Kane and John Buscema.

In 1975, Fuller teamed up with Raye Horne to form Ful-Horne Productions (later known as Fulhorne), putting out the sex-themed comics White Whore Funnies and the then ground-breaking Gay Heart Throbs.
