Editing

Augustyn got his start in the industry in 1986 as an editor for Tru Studios' "Trollords". He then edited "Syphons" and "Speed Racer" for NOW Comics in 1987. In 1988, he joined DC, starting out as a co-editor on "Action Comics" during its period as a weekly title.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s Augustyn was an editor for DC Comics, where he edited "The Flash", "Justice League" and the Impact Comics line of titles.

Augustyn was recognized for his work in the industry with the Wizard Fan Award for Favorite Editor in 1994.

He is currently the managing editor of Visionary Comics Studio.

Mark Waid

As editor of "The Flash" (beginning in 1989), Augustyn brought in Mark Waid as writer in 1992, which led to an acclaimed eight-year run. Under Augustyn's stewardship, the Flash was brought out from the shadow of his predecessors and increased his powers dramatically. Other Augustyn-Waid editor-writer partnerships included "The Comet" (DC/Impact, 1992) and "Impulse" (DC, 1995–1996).

As co-writers, Augustyn and Waid scripted "The Crusaders (comics)|The Crusaders" for DC/Impact in 1992, "Painkiller Jane" and "Ash: Cinder & Smoke" for Event Comics in 1997, "X-O Manowar", vol. 2, for Valiant Comics in 1997–1998, and "JLA: Year One" for DC in 1998–1999. In addition, after leaving as editor in 1996, Augustyn teamed up with Waid to co-write "The Flash" for two long stretches, from 1996–1997 and then again from 1998–2000.

Writing

As a solo writer, Augustyn has worked on such titles as DC's "" and its sequel "Batman: Master of the Future"; Marvel's "Imperial Guard"; Wildstorm Productions' "Out There" and "Crimson"; and Dreamwave Productions's "Mega Man".
