A consistent interest in the medium, coupled with some art skill, landed Mahnke a job drawing comics for Dark Horse at the age of 24. His first gig was illustrating a moody detective one-shot entitled Homicide, written by John Arcudi. The two went on to collaborate on Dark Horse's The Mask and their creator-owned series MAJOR BUMMER, originally published by DC. Since then Mahnke has worked almost exclusively for DC  on a wide variety of titles, including SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL, JLA, JUSTICE LEAGUE, BATMAN, TEAM ZERO, SEVEN SOLDIERS: FRANKENSTEIN, BLACK ADAM: THE DARK AGE, STORMWATCH: P.H.D., FINAL CRISIS, GREEN LANTERN, SUPERMAN\/WONDER WOMAN,  SUPERMAN and DETECTIVE COMICS.","brand":"DC Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300795797733,"sku":"NP9781779504340","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781779504340.jpg?v=1767731273","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/legends-of-the-dc-universe-doug-mahnke-isbn-9781779504340","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
