After cartooning for a local newspaper, Blevins became a professional comic book artist in the early 1980s.[2] During that time, Blevins drew Marvel Comics' adaptations of films such as The Dark Crystal, Krull, and The Last Starfighter.[3] Blevins was a guest artist on a number of titles[4] before co-creating The Bozz Chronicles with writer David Michelinie, which was published under Marvel's creator-owned Epic Comics imprint.[5] Blevins' first regular work on a superhero comic was on the 1987 revival of Strange Tales[4] which was an anthology that featured two ongoing features produced by two different creative teams — Cloak and Dagger drawn by Blevins, and Doctor Strange. That same year, Blevins became the regular artist on New Mutants and drew the majority of issues from #55 (Sept. 1987) to #85 (Jan. 1990). He drew the Sleepwalker series in 1991–1992.[4] Blevins was to have drawn an adaptation of The Wolf Man for Dark Horse Comics in the early 1990s but the project was cancelled before completion.[6]
Blevins then began to work mainly for DC Comics, mainly on the Batman: Shadow of the Bat series and various Batman one-shots and limited series.[4] He was one of the main artists for the character during the "KnightsEnd" storyline.[7]
In 1996, Blevins moved into the field of television animation. He primarily drew storyboards for Warner Bros. produced cartoons such as Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, and the Justice League.[2] In 1996, Blevins won two Emmy Awards for his storyboard contributions to some of those shows.[8] Blevins stopped regularly drawing storyboards in 2005. In 2018, Blevins collaborated with writer Joe Keatinge on the Stellar limited series published by Image Comics.[9]
With the July 13, 2022 publication date of The Phantom daily comic strip, Blevins began filling in as ghost artist while regular artist Mike Manley dealt with health issues.[10]
