Life and work

1991 Bogdanove started the comic series Superman: Man of Steel to draw. His partner in the design of this comic series about the most classic superhero was the writer Louise Simonson. Bogdanove drew almost without exception, all issues of the " Man of Steel " series to devote up to number # 87 in 1999 when he left the series, which he had co-authored last as co- author to move on to other projects. Conspicuous among the dozens of Superman stories he in the years 1991-1999 was crafted a story from Man of Steel # 81-83 in which he and Simonson were dedicated to the subject of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Holocaust. Although many criticisms have been expressed, the work-up of such a theme in a comic book, especially in a superhero series like Superman, was inappropriate, the story was also positive reverberations: How praised as the Department for the prosecution of war crimes in the U.S. Department of Justice, Bogdanove the problem could be approached in a more appropriate way than about the film Schindler's List.

Bogdanove and Simonson 1993 created the superhero Steel, one of the first African- American comic book hero whose eponymous series Bogdanove supervised several years.
