Dan Jurgens began his comics career in 1981 as artist on DC Comics’ THE WARLORD. He then created, wrote and drew BOOSTER GOLD and added FLASH GORDON, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, GREEN ARROW and JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA to his résumé. Most notably, he logged a very long run as writer/artist on SUPERMAN, including the best selling DEATH OF SUPERMAN for which he won the National Cartoonists Society Award. Jurgens followed up with the mega-hit crossover ZERO HOUR, which redefined the DC Universe.

At Marvel Comics, he wrote and/or drew THE SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN, THE MIGHTY THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA.

Jurgens then returned to DC Comics to write and/or draw GREEN ARROW, JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL, FIRESTORM and more. He then revived the true Superman in the SUPERMAN: LOIS AND CLARK series, which featured the creation and establishment of Superman’s son, Jonathan Kent, as a major DC character. After that, Dan had long stints writing ACTION COMICS, which debuted in 1938, starring Superman. He continued that all the way through the landmark ACTION COMICS #1000. He also wrote BATMAN BEYOND, NIGHTWING and TITANS GIANT, which was exclusive to Walmart stores.

After that, Dan wrote GENERATIONS SHATTERED and GENERATIONS FORGED, which structured the Linearverse for DC. He also drew a number of covers for Marvel Comics, featuring characters like Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, the X-Men and Avengers.

2022 saw Dan return to his favorite creation, Booster Gold, as he wrote the DC mini-series BLUE AND GOLD, starring Booster and the Blue Beetle in a project that evoked the best of “buddy cops” style movies. That year also happened to be the 30th anniversary of the DEATH OF SUPERMAN and Dan wrote and drew a 40-page story celebrating the event in THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN 30th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL. Dan also returned to Thor, a character he wrote for seven years, with a story he wrote and drew for THOR #750, which celebrated the thunder god’s 60th anniversary.
