Milgrom started his comics career in 1972 as an assistant for inkerMurphy Anderson. During that period, Milgrom contributed toCharlton Comics'Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves,Star*Reach, and comics published byWarren Publishing andAtlas/Seaboard, before joining with Marvel. Milgrom also worked as a "Crusty Bunker" forNeal Adams'Continuity Associates in 1977.[5]

At one point Milgrom lived in the same Queens apartment building as artistsWalt Simonson,Howard Chaykin, andBernie Wrightson. Simonson recalls, "We'd get together at 3 a.m. They'd come up and we'd have popcorn and sit around and talk about whatever a 26, 27 and 20-year-old guys talk about. Our art, TV, you name it. I pretty much knew at the time, 'These are the good ole days.'"[6]

Milgrom came to prominence as a penciller onCaptain Marvel from 1975 to 1977. He penciled theGuardians of the Galaxy feature inMarvel Presents, which was written bySteve Gerber andRoger Stern.[7][8] Milgrom worked as editor at DC Comics from 1977 to 1978.[9] While at DC, he co-createdRonnie Raymond, the originalFirestorm, with writerGerry Conway.[10]

Milgrom was an editor forMarvel Comics beginning in 1979,[9] and editingMarvel Fanfare for its full ten-year run (#1–60, March 1982–January 1992).[11] As editor ofThe Incredible Hulk, he designed the costumes of theU-Foes.[12] He drewThe Avengers (1983–85),West Coast Avengers (1985–88),Kitty Pryde and Wolverine (1984–85), andSecret Wars II (1985–86), and wrote theMephisto limited series (1987).

Milgrom wrote and drewThe Spectacular Spider-Man #90–100 (1984–85),[13] andThe Incredible Hulk (1986–87). In 1991, he wrote a story arc forThe Amazing Spider-Man[14] and collaborated withDanny Fingeroth onThe Deadly Foes of Spider-Man limited series.[15]

Milgrom has been a prolific inker, working on most of Marvel's line. He served an eight-year stint as the inker ofX-Factor in 1989–1997. He inkedRon Frenz onThor in 1991–1993 andThunderstrike from 1994 to 1995. Other series he has worked on includeCaptain America,Generation X,The Micronauts, and theUncanny X-Men. Milgrom inked the limited seriesA-Next,J2,Marvel: The Lost Generation, andThanos. He was additionally an inker onThe Spectacular Spider-Man from 1996 to 1998.

In 2001 Milgrom was fired from his Marvel staff job when it was discovered he had added hidden slanderous comments against editor-in-chiefBob Harras in the background of a page in the comic bookUniverse X Special: Spidey. Milgrom went on to freelance for Marvel, mostly inkingJim Starlin's work. He also started to work forArchie Comics on a regular basis, inking a variety of titles.[16] Beginning in the early 2000s, Milgrom freelanced for DC again, providing inks for titles likeMystery in Space (vol. 2),Ambush Bug: Year None, andStrange Adventures (vol. 3).
