McDonnell began his career as a comics artist in 1980 and illustrated a wide variety of comics including long runs on Iron Man, The Phantom and Suicide Squad.[2] He made his Marvel Comics debut with the story "Eclipse of Reason" in Star Trek #12 (March 1981).[3] In 1983, McDonnell and writer Dennis O'Neil began a storyline in which the character James Rhodes replaced Tony Stark in the role of Iron Man.[4] McDonnell moved to DC Comics in 1985 and became the regular artist on Justice League of America with issue #245 (Dec. 1985).[5] He drew the title through its final storyline (#258-261) which was written by J. M. DeMatteis.[6] McDonnell then moved over to the Suicide Squad series written by John Ostrander.[7] Suicide Squad #23 (Jan. 1989) written by Ostrander and Kim Yale and drawn by McDonnell, featured Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl, making her debut as Oracle.[8] The Ostrander, Yale, and McDonnell team produced a Deadshot limited series as well.[9] In 1995, McDonnell drew the final two issues of an Argus limited series after which his comics work has appeared only occasionally.[3]
