Jusko’s career has spanned more than 45 years, starting with the sale of his very first cover for Heavy Metal Magazine in 1977 at the age of 17. Since graduating that year from New York City's High School of Art and Design, Jusko has worked for almost every major comic book publisher, producing hundreds of images for both covers and interiors. His work has appeared on paperback book covers, calendars, posters, T-shirts, toy packaging, and innumerable trading cards, most memorably the multi-award-winning 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. The popularity of that set has been credited with initiating the painted trading card boom of the 1990s and led to his groundbreaking 1994 Art of Edgar Rice Burroughs trading cards. Those 125 paintings have made him the most prolific Burroughs artist ever, producing art based on almost every major book by the famed author.
In addition to his work at Marvel over the years, Jusko has produced art for many other companies and characters, including DC Comics, Crusade Comics, Chaos Comics, Innovation Comics, Harris Comics, Wildstorm Comics, Top Cow Productions, and Byron Preiss Visual Publications, just to name a few. He has produced storyboards for ad agencies and advertising campaigns for such notable clients as the World Wrestling Federation, where he designed the art for the 1991-1992 Royal Rumbles and WrestleMania VII. His 2005 fully painted graphic novel based on Lara Croft, the heroine from the Tomb Raider video game series, won a Certificate of Merit from the prestigious Society of Illustrators, into which he was inducted in 2007. His hardcover Art of Joe Jusko book was released by Desperado Publishing in May 2009 to rave reviews.
His work has earned him myriad awards and honors, including two "Favorite Painter" Wizard Fan Awards, multiple trading card awards, a Golden Lion Award from the Burroughs Bibliophiles (previous recipients include Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo), and a Chesley Award nomination for best cover in 2001. Jusko is currently painting new covers for The Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library, a lifelong goal and an endeavor that will make him the first artist to cover every book written by the legendary author. He has also celebrated a return to covers for The Savage Sword of Conan after a 32-year sabbatical.
