Early life

Originally from Massachusetts, Johnson has stated that his first introduction to comic books was Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes. He has explained that he had a sheltered childhood, and wasn't allowed to read certain comics or watch certain cartoons as a child.[5] Reading these stories as a kid inspired Johnson to start drawing. Johnson was homeschooled beginning in third grade and continuing until twelfth. He was tutored by a woman named Rosetta at a local art center, who he credits as being very influential for his career in art. Johnson went to college in Chicago to get a degree in teaching, before changing paths and getting a job as a patient transporter at a hospital. At his job at the hospital, Johnson would occasionally draw portraits of patients. After returning to teaching, Johnson's wife Rachel encouraged him to pursue a career in art.[6]

Career

Daniel Warren Johnson gained popularity through his first major web-comic Space Mullet that began in 2012 and ran until 2017.[7] In 2014 Johnson collaborated with Donny Cates on the Dark Horse Comics published The Ghost Fleet. Continuing his partnership with Dark Horse Space Mullet was printed and published in a trade paperback from the publisher in 2016. In 2015 Johnson pitched his creator-owned series Extremity for Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment, and the series began coming out in 2017.[6][8] his work for which was nominated for an Eisner Award for best limited series.[9] Extremity also marks the beginning of the collaboration between Johnson and colorist Mike Spicer. Johnson has stated that Extremity was a series that he wanted to feel like he was taking seriously, unlike Space Mullet before it.[6] Johnson has discussed that he met with some Hollywood studio executives to discuss making Extremity into a movie, but these discussions went nowhere due to the high budget an adaptation would require.[5]

Following the completion of Extremity, Johnson moved to his next creator-owned project, Murder Falcon.[10] In the collected edition, Johnson shares a personal story at the start describing the comic's encapsulation of all the things that Johnson appreciates and holds dear, while also telling a story about being brave during the hardest times in life.[11] The pair then went to DC Comics to work on their DC Black Label mini-series Wonder Woman: Dead Earth published from December 2019 to August 2020.[12][13] The story is an alternate universe tale starring Wonder Woman in a post-apocalyptic world where nightmarish monsters roam the Earth.[14] After the completion of Dead Earth, Spicer and Johnson went to Marvel Comics to collaborate of the mini-series Beta Ray Bill: Argent Star which ran from March to July in 2021.[15][16]

The duo then returned to creator-owned work at Image Comics with Do a Powerbomb beginning in June 2022 and finishing in December of the same year.[17] In June 2023, it was announced that Johnson and Spicer would be working on the Transformers ongoing series being developed at Skybound Entertainment.[18] In June 2024, it was announced that Johnson would be writing a new series for Image called The Moon Is Following Us, with Johnson and Riley Rossmo sharing art duties and Mike Spicer coloring. The first issue released September 2024.[19] As of October 2023, Johnson was also working on another indie project, one that he will write and draw and is described as "an epic sci-fi fantasy that is a love letter to his wife and daughter".[20]
