Jurgens’ work on Superman was groundbreaking. Never before had a major publisher killed off one of their greatest superheroes. The Death of Superman was and is still to this day an iconic series in the world of comics that went on to spawn a handful of animated movies. During his time with DC, Jurgens also created characters like the monstrous villain, Doomsday and Booster Gold, the hero from the future. Other titles he worked on for DC include Action Comics, The Adventures of Superman, Aquaman, Batman Beyond, Green Arrow and Teen Titans. While at Marvel Comics, He worked on runs for popular series such as Captain America, Thor and The Sensational Spider-Man. In the past decade Jurgens has been a creative talent on both DC’s The New 52 and Rebirth relaunches. 

Three months after graduating high school, Breeding realized his childhood dream by entering into a career illustrating comic books. He got his start in September 1979 assisting comic book inker Bob Layton as a background artist on his definitive first run on Iron Man, with writer David Michelinie and penciller John Romita Jr., for Marvel Comics. He has been fortunate throughout his career to have collaborated with some of the best artists and writers in the comic book industry and has worked on many popular titles for both Marvel and DC Comics. His work on the Superman titles, notably the Death of Superman storyline, is among his most recognized, along with Spider-Man, Thor, The Avengers, and West Coast Avengers. Breeding takes pride in having a versatile career, working primarily as a finish inker, but on occasion provided pencil art, traditional and computer coloring, story development, and plotting.
