Mike began his career by starting his own comic book company, NOBLE COMICS, whose first publication was a black-and-white anthology magazine called THE LANDS OF PRESTER JOHN, an anthology of super/horror/sci-fi stories. Soon after, he went to work for a new company called POWER COMICS, for which Mike was the art director and writer/artist of COBALT BLUE. From there, Mike restarted NOBLE COMICS and began the superhero series that put him in the spotlight, The JUSTICE MACHINE. After 5 issues, he moved over to working for MARVEL and DC, where he worked on such titles as BATMAN, THE NEW MUTANTS, HULK, and AVENGERS. He also illustrated for smaller companies such as First Comics and NOW. For G-Man Comics, he provided the covers for Sgt. Flag #1 and #2, with a virgin cover edition in G-Men Uncovered #1.
