He drew the "Black Canary" feature in Action Comics Weekly in 1988 and contributed to the various volumes of Paradox Press' The Big Book Of series from 1994 to 2000. In the early 2000s, he began working in the field of children's books and his The Moon Ring received the Steptoe Award in 2003. DuBurke collaborated with writer Andy Helfer on Malcolm X: A Graphic Biography (2006) which has been recommended as part of a "Suggested Core List of Graphic Novel Titles for High School Students". Writer Greg Neri and DuBurke produced Yummy: the Last Days of a Southside Shorty in 2010 about the life of Robert “Yummy” Sandifer. The book was praised by Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Kirkus Reviews. The School Library Journal noted that "Playing not just with expressions and characters but with light and shadow as well, it's DuBurke’s choices that lift this book up and make it far more compelling than it would be merely on its own." As of 2014, DuBurke was working on a graphic novel with jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter.
