He rose to prominence in 1994 with the publication of DC comics' '' Starman''. Summarizing his career up to this point, he remarked "When you jump around as a freelancer, it's easy to have your attention span dwindle down to that of a gnat. When I got ''Starman'', I had to buckle down and just get serious about the work." Co-created with James Robinson, ''Starman'' led the two to critical acclaim and eventually an Eisner Award for the "Sand and Stars" story arc.
