During the 1980s and 1990s, he worked primarily for DC Comics, his first story for that publisher appearing in The Vigilante #48 (Dec. 1987).[3] After that title's cancellation, Erwin co-created the title Checkmate! with writer Paul Kupperberg.[4] In August 1991, Erwin and Marv Wolfman launched the Deathstroke The Terminator title,[5] a series which Erwin would draw from 1991 to 1994.[3] The Gunfire character was created by Len Wein and Erwin in Deathstroke the Terminator Annual #3 (October 1993).[6] Erwin drew the comics adaptation of Batman Returns as well as Star Trek: The Next Generation Shadowheart, and the graphic novel adaptation of The Ashes of Eden.
