In 1985, Jurgens created the character Booster Gold, who became a member of the Justice League
Jurgens began working full-time on the Superman character when he took over the writing/pencilling of the monthly The Adventures of Superman.
During his run on Superman, Jurgens created two major villains, Doomsday and the Cyborg Superman.
In January 1996, Jurgens was writer and penciller of the new Spider-Man series, The Sensational Spider-Man, at Marvel Comics.
• In November 2002, he wrote and penciled the four-issue weekly miniseries Superman: Day of Doom (Jan. 2003), which marked the 10 year anniversary of "The Death of Superman" story line from 1992
