Carlson was working on Megaton #4, and was looking for replacements for artists who had moved on to bigger projects. Liefeld's submission packet consisted mostly of pinups of DC Comics characters like the <a href="/wiki/Teen_Titans" title="Teen Titans">Teen Titans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Legion_of_Super_Heroes" class="mw-redirect" title="Legion of Super Heroes">Legion of Super Heroes</a>, as well as some sketches of Megaton characters.

Although Carlson liked Liefeld's work overall, he felt the young artist was not ready for professional work.

Impressed with the artist's enthusiasm and the new art samples he showed them, Carlson gave Liefeld a test script in order to judge his ability to draw a page-to-page comics story. Although Carlson was impressed with Liefeld's layouts, the story was eventually drawn by Gary Thomas by the time it saw print in Megaton #7.<a href="#cite_note-BigBangComics-17">[17]</a> Two months later Liefeld drew the team in an advertisement in Megaton #8 (August 1987),<a href="#cite_note-FirstComicsNews-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> which indicated that it would next appear in Megaton Special #1, by Liefeld and writer <a href="/wiki/Hank_Kanalz" title="Hank Kanalz">Hank Kanalz</a>, with a cover by artist <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Ordway" title="Jerry Ordway">Jerry Ordway</a>.

At the convention, he showed editors his samples and offered a package, which consisted of 10 pages of sequential art featuring his own characters. Editor <a href="/wiki/Dick_Giordano" title="Dick Giordano">Dick Giordano</a>, to whom Liefeld showed his samples at the DC booth, requested that Liefeld send him more samples. Although Liefeld was apprehensive about approaching the Marvel booth, he did so at his friend's urging, and as a result, editor <a href="/wiki/Mark_Gruenwald" title="Mark Gruenwald">Mark Gruenwald</a> offered Liefeld a job illustrating an eight-page <a href="/wiki/The_Avengers_(comic_book)" title="The Avengers (comic book)">Avengers</a> backup story featuring the <a href="/wiki/Black_Panther_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Panther (comics)">Black Panther</a>, much to the 19-year-old artist's surprise. Though the published story was ultimately illustrated by another artist, Liefeld was later given character design work by the publisher. His first published story, was a <a href="/wiki/DC_Comics_Bonus_Book" title="DC Comics Bonus Book">DC Comics Bonus Book</a> insert in <a href="/wiki/Warlord_(DC_Comics)" title="Warlord (DC Comics)">Warlord</a> #131 (September 1988). Editor <a href="/wiki/Robert_Greenberger" title="Robert Greenberger">Robert Greenberger</a> recalled that Liefeld "was discovered by my office-mate, Jonathan Peterson, who was scrambling to find something for him to do.

The letters column of Hawk and Dove #5 mentions that Liefeld "showed something new to an editor who thought he'd seen everything." Liefeld explained this was how the dimension had been portrayed the only other time it had been shown. Kesel disputed this, asserting that this was the first time that dimension had been shown, but a 2007 article in <a href="/wiki/Comic_Book_Resources" title="Comic Book Resources">Comic Book Resources</a> pointed out that artist <a href="/wiki/Erik_Larsen" title="Erik Larsen">Erik Larsen</a> had indeed portrayed that realm in this manner in <a href="/wiki/Doom_Patrol" title="Doom Patrol">Doom Patrol</a> #14, which had been published three months prior.<a href="#cite_note-CBGUrbanLegends-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Shortly thereafter, Liefeld began doing work for Marvel Comics as well, his first assignment for them being <a href="/wiki/The_Amazing_Spider-Man_Annual" class="mw-redirect" title="The Amazing Spider-Man Annual">The Amazing Spider-Man Annual</a> #23.<a href="#cite_note-CBGreats-14">[14]</a> In 1989, Liefeld became the penciller for the Marvel series <a href="/wiki/The_New_Mutants_(comic_book)" title="The New Mutants (comic book)">The New Mutants</a>, starting with issue #86. He is generally credited for turning this lowest-selling title of the X-Men franchise into a financial success,<a href="#cite_note-TheImageStory2-28">[28]</a> which underlined the increased popularity and clout that his stint on the title had earned him.<a href="#cite_note-CBR7.30.01-25">[25]</a> With The New Mutants #98, Liefeld assumed full creative control over the series, penciling, inking and plotting, with <a href="/wiki/Fabian_Nicieza" title="Fabian Nicieza">Fabian Nicieza</a> writing dialog. The New Mutants series ended with issue 100, and was replaced with a revamped version of the team called <a href="/wiki/X-Force" title="X-Force">X-Force</a>, whose 1991 debut issue sold four million copies, setting an industry-wide record later broken by <a href="/wiki/Chris_Claremont" title="Chris Claremont">Chris Claremont</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jim_Lee" title="Jim Lee">Jim Lee</a>'s X-Men (vol. 2) #1.

In an interview in Hero Illustrated #4 (October 1993), Liefeld conceded disappointment with the first four issues of Youngblood, calling the first issue a "disaster". Liefeld explained that production problems, as well as sub-par scripting by his friend and collaborator <a href="/wiki/Hank_Kanalz" title="Hank Kanalz">Hank Kanalz</a>, whose employment Liefeld later terminated, resulted in work that was lower in quality than that which Liefeld produced when <a href="/wiki/Fabian_Nicieza" title="Fabian Nicieza">Fabian Nicieza</a> scripted his plots on X-Force, and that reprints of those four issues would be re-scripted.
