Bogdanove's first work for Marvel Comics was Alpha Flight #32 (March 1986). He then became the regular artist on Power Pack as of #22 (May 1986) and would draw that title for the next four years. In 1991, Bogdanove began drawing for DC Comics. He, writer Louise Simonson, and editor Mike Carlin launched a new Superman title, Superman: The Man of Steel — which Bogdanove would draw for nearly eight years until #85 (Jan. 1999). During this run, Bogdanove and Simonson (along with Carlin, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern and others) were the architects of The Death of Superman storyline, in which Superman died and was resurrected. It was during that story, in Superman: The Man of Steel #19, that Simonson and Bogdanove introduced their character Steel, who graduated to his own title in 1993. The character went on to feature in an eponymous feature film starring Shaquille O'Neal in 1997. After leaving the Superman: The Man of Steel title, Bogdanove drew two intercompany crossovers for DC Comics: Superman & Savage Dragon: Metropolis (Nov. 1999) co-published with Image Comics[1] and Superman / Aliens II: God War (May 2002 - Nov. 2002) co-published with Dark Horse Comics.[2]
Bogdanove has participated with his son, Kal-El Bogdanove, on assorted film projects including Hansel & Gretel (2006) and Lady of the Isle.
