In 1990, David wrote a seven-issue ''[[Aquaman]]'' [[miniseries]], ''[[Atlantis (DC Comics)#Atlantis Chronicles|The Atlantis Chronicles]]'', for [[DC Comics]],<ref>{{cite book|last1=Manning|first1= Matthew K.|editor-last=Dolan|editor-first=Hannah |chapter= 1990s|title = DC Comics Year By Year A Visual Chronicle|publisher=[[Dorling Kindersley]]|year=2010|location= London, United Kingdom|isbn= 978-0-7566-6742-9|page= 245|quote = Paving the way for his legendary relaunch of ''Aquaman'', writer Peter David crafted a seven-issue series delving into the history of the mythical people of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis.}}</ref> about the history of Aquaman's home of [[Atlantis (DC Comics)|Atlantis]], which David has referred to as among the written works of which he is most proud,<ref name=FansNG>{{Cite web | last = David | first = Peter | url= http://www.peterdavid.net/index.php/2009/04/26/talking-to-kids-at-school/ |title=Fans: The Next Generation|format= Reprinted from April 3, 1992 ''Comics Buyer's Guide''|publisher=peterdavid.net |date=April 26, 2009}}</ref> and his first time writing in the [[full script]] format.<ref>Weiland, Jonah (December 22, 2014).

David was finally ready to put all his backstory to practical use in the new monthly ''Aquaman'' title."</ref> the first 46 issues of which he wrote from 1994 to 1998. His run on ''Aquaman'' gained notoriety, for in the book's second issue, Aquaman lost a hand, which was then replaced with a [[harpoon]], a feature of the character that endured for the duration of David's run on the book. More broadly, his run recast the character as an aggressive man of action, one deserving of greater respect, in contrast to the "fish-talking punch line" into which the TV series ''[[Super Friends]]'' had rendered him.<ref name=CBR3.29.14/> David quit that book over creative differences.<ref name=BID3.13.98/>

David wrote the ''Star Trek'' comic book for DC from 1988 to 1991, when that company held the licensing rights to the property, though he has opined that novels are better suited to ''Star Trek'', whose stories are not highly visual.<ref name=BillMitchel/> He and [[Ron Marz]] cowrote the ''[[DC vs. Marvel]]'' [[intercompany crossover]] in 1996.<ref>Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 272: "Written by Peter David and Ron Marz with art by Dan Jurgens and Claudio Castellini, this four-issue miniseries event consisted of five major battles voted on in advance by reader ballots distributed to comic stores."</ref> David also had runs on ''[[Supergirl (comic book)|Supergirl]]'' and ''[[Young Justice]]'',<ref>Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 274: "The Girl of Steel flew back into an ongoing series at long last, courtesy of fan-favorite writer Peter David and artist Gary Frank."</ref><ref>Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 285: "Written by Peter David and illustrated by Todd Nauck, ''Young Justice'' succeeded in finding its fan base, just as the Teen Titans had in the 1960s."</ref> the latter eventually being canceled so that DC could use that book's characters in a relaunched ''[[Teen Titans]]'' monthly.

David's work for [[Dark Horse Comics]] has included the teen spy adventure ''[[SpyBoy]]'', which appeared in a series and a number of miniseries between 1999 and 2004, and the 2007 miniseries ''The Scream''.

Other 1990s work includes the 1997 miniseries ''[[Heroes Reborn (1996 comic)|Heroes Reborn]]: The Return'',<ref>Manning "1990s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 285</ref> for Marvel, and two creator-owned properties: ''Soulsearchers and Company'', published by [[Claypool Comics]], and the [[Epic Comics]] title ''[[Sachs and Violens]]'', which he produced with co-creator/artist [[George Pérez]].
