His first well known run was working with with writer Don McGregor on an 11–issue Amazing Adventures story-line featuring Killraven: the hero of a future version of H. G.

In this same time period, Russell was also working for DC Comics; inking Batman stories in Batman Family (Michael Golden, penciler) and Detective Comics (Jim Starlin, penciler). In 1984, Russell began an ongoing anthology series for Eclipse Comics (Night Music) featuring some of his most heralded literary and operatic adaptations. He had previously used the same title for a black and white collection of the earliest of these works (Eclipse Comics aka EC). One of the adaptations in this series was "The King's Ankus" (Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"). A number of Jungle Book adaptations drawn by Gil Kane (Marvel Fanfare #8–11 (May–Nov. 1983)) were inked by Russell. The series included "Pelleas & Melisande" (Maurice Maeterlinck's play), and "Salome" (Oscar Wilde's play) and the four-part adaptation of "The Magic Flute" (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera). Russell inked Mike Mignola's pencils on the Phantom Stranger limited series (1987) & The Sandman #50 (writer Neil Gaiman)"Ramadan". Russell collaborated again with Gaiman on a later Sandman graphic novel (Endless Nights) & adapted both Gaiman's short story "Murder Mysteries" and his children's book "Coraline" into comics form. When he returned to Elric (1997), he collaborated directly with Michael Moorcock on "Elric: Stormbringer" (co-published by Dark Horse Comics & Topps Comics).His work has won multiple Harvey and Eisner Awards.
