He began drawing comics as a teenager, and eventually attended Michigan State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design. After college, Breyfogle moved to Chicago and began working as a freelance artist. He drew covers for independent comic books, as well as illustrations for magazines, books, and advertisements.

In 1987, he got his big break when he was hired by DC Comics to draw the Batman comic book series. During his eight-year run on the series, Breyfogle helped define the look of Batman and his world, creating iconic characters such as Anarky and the Ventriloquist.

He also drew the covers for the highly acclaimed “Knightfall” story arc, which introduced the villain Bane. His work was praised for its dynamic action sequences and for its moody shadows and atmosphere. After his work on Batman ended, Breyfogle went on to draw for other comic book series, such as Prime.
