With writers Edmond Hamilton and Gardner Fox, Brown created the DC Comics hero Space Ranger, drawing the character's complete run from 1958 to 1965. He also pencilled the DC’s Challengers of the Unknown (taking over from Jack Kirby) for over ten years; and had notable runs on DC's Superboy and Marvel Comics' Daredevil.

He had just signed on as the new artist on Wonder Woman (#231) but only completed a single issue which was released two weeks after his death. He was eulogized in August 1977 issues of Marvel titles, with special mention given to his fostering "better communication between American and European cartoonists."
