After graduating from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1981, Jurgens' first professional comic work was for DC Comics on The Warlord #63 (Nov. 1982).

In 1985, Jurgens created the character Booster Gold, who became a member of the Justice League. Jurgens was one of the contributors to the DC Challenge limited series in 1986. His first work on Superman was as penciller for The Adventures of Superman Annual #1 (1987).

He then had a run as artist of Green Arrow with writer Mike Grell from 1988 to 1990.
