Dan Jurgens

Dan Jurgens (born June 27, 1959) is an American comic book writer and artist. He is known for his work on the DC comic book storyline "The Death of Superman" and for creating characters such as Doomsday, Hank Henshaw, and Booster Gold. Jurgens had a lengthy run on the Superman comic books, including The Adventures of Superman, Superman vol. 2, and Action Comics. At Marvel, Jurgens worked on series such as Captain America and The Sensational Spider-Man and was the writer on Thor for six years. He also had a brief run as writer and artist on Solar for Valiant Comics in 1995. After graduating from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1981, Jurgens' first professional comic work was for DC Comics on The Warlord #63 (Nov. 1982). He was hired due to a recommendation of Warlord creator Mike Grell, who was deeply impressed by Jurgens' work after being shown his private portfolio at a convention. In 1984, Jurgens was the artist for the Sun Devils limited series (July 1984–June 1985), with writers Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas. Jurgens would make his debut as a comic book writer with Sun Devils. He began scripting from Conway's plots with #8 (Feb. 1985) and fully took over the writing duties on the title with #10 (April 1985). In 1985, Jurgens created the character Booster Gold, who became a member of the Justice League. Jurgens was one of the contributors to the DC Challenge limited series in 1986. His first work on Superman was as penciller for The Adventures of Superman Annual #1 (1987). In 1988, Jurgens provided pencil art for the Deadman short stories, which were written by Mike Baron in the short-lived anthology Action Comics Weekly from issues #601–612. He then had a run as artist of Green Arrow with writer Mike Grell from 1988 to 1990. In 1989, Jurgens began working full-time on the Superman character when he took over the writing and pencilling of the monthly The Adventures of Superman. Jurgens is married and has two children, Quinn Jurgens and Seth Jurgens. Jurgens was awarded the 1994 National Cartoonists Society Award for Best Comic Book.
