Brigman broke into comics with AC Comics in 1983.[4] A sample Astron story (eventually published by AC in 1986) earned her a job with DC Comics in 1984. Later, she worked instead for Marvel Comics,[5] where she worked on Power Pack, a series she penciled on and off until issue #17. For the next seven years, Brigman worked exclusively for Marvel, mostly on short runs; she also contributed illustrations to various editions of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
Brigman pencilled DC's Supergirl mini-series in 1994, following that with 1995's Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars mini-series River of Chaos (which was written by her former Power Pack collaborator Louise Simonson).
She returned to Marvel in 2010 with a new Power Pack story in Girl Comics #3, teaming up with Simonson again. Subsequently she pencilled two issues of Herc in 2011. For DC, she pencilled ConvergenceSuperman: Man of Steel #1–2 (written by Louise Simonson) and ConvergenceInfinity Inc. #2 in 2015. From 2016 to 2017 she created several variant covers for different Marvel series. Also in 2016, Brigman became the artist of the Mary Worth newspaper comic strip. Her husband, Roy Richardson, had already inked, colored and lettered her syndicated strip Brenda Starr, Reporter and did the same on Mary Worth.[6]
In 2018, she joined new comics publisher Ahoy Comics as penciller and cover artist of Captain Ginger, written by Stuart Moore. The next year, she reunited with Simonson for a Power Pack oneshot for Marvel.[9]
In April 2022, Brigman was reported among the more than three dozen comics creators who contributed to Operation USA's benefit anthology book, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds, a project spearheaded by IDW Publishing Special Projects Editor Scott Dunbier, whose profits would be donated to relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees resulting from the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[10][11] Brigman teamed up with writer Louise Simonson to produce an original story with new characters created specifically for the anthology.[12]
In 2024, Marvel Comics published the five-issue retro series Power Pack: Into the Storm with art by June Brigman and written by Louise Simonson, with a story, that takes place during their original Power Pack run.[13]
