He was also the artist on Superman in Action Comics in the early 1990s.
McLeod also illustrated several issues of The Phantom comic book for the Swedish publisher Egmont, and has worked on various commercial projects. He has also written and illustrated a children's book, Superhero ABC, which was published by HarperCollins in 2006 and received starred reviews from School Library Journal and ABA Booklist. McLeod currently teaches part-time at the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design in Lancaster, PA, and edits Rough Stuff magazine for TwoMorrows Publishing.
