Saviuk's professional career began in 1977 at DC Comics, where he illustrated such titles as Green Lantern, The Flash, and Superman. Saviuk's first work for DC was a one-page story titled "The Victim!" in House of Mystery #255. His first full work for the company, Green Lantern #100, introduced an updated version of the Air Wave character. Saviuk drew The Flash #275 wherein the title character's wife, Iris West Allen was killed. In the early 1980s, Saviuk was the regular backup feature artist on Action Comics, where he drew the exploits of Air Wave, Aquaman, and the Atom in collaboration with writer Bob Rozakis. Rozakis stated in a 2014 interview that "I don't recall how we ended up with the three of them. It may have simply been that all three had names that began with 'A' and it was a backup in Action Comics". Saviuk frequently drew the "Whatever Happened to...?" backup feature in DC Comics Presents. He and writer E. Nelson Bridwell introduced the Global Guardians in DC Comics Presents #46. from 2004. Pencils by Saviuk, inks by Joe Sinnott.
