The four produced a great deal of content there and The Studio ran up until 1979.
In 1981, Kaluta drew the cover art for DC's one-shot Madame Xanadu, which was the company's second direct sales only comic. He has also drawn for numerous other popular DC titles such as Action Comics, Adventure Comics, Aquaman, Batman, Batman Family, The Brave and the Bold, Detective Comics, Justice League of America, Mystery in Space, Spectre, The Spirit, Superman, Wonder Woman and more.
