Daniel Warren Johnson (born March 23, 1987) is an American comic book writer and artist based in Chicago, Illinois. After breaking onto the scene with his self-published webcomic Space Mullet, Johnson gained wider notoriety with his 2017 series Extremity, which also marked the beginning of his collaboration with frequent colorist Mike Spicer and Skybound Entertainment, both of whom he would continue working with for his subsequent series Murder Falcon and the Eisner Award-winning Do A Powerbomb. He has also worked on such titles as Beta Ray Bill for Marvel Comics and Wonder Woman: Dead Earth and Jurassic League (with Juan Gedeon) for DC Comics.

In 2023, Johnson and Spicer returned to Skybound to helm the new Transformers series as part of their Energon Universe. On July 26, 2024, Johnson won two Eisner Awards (Best Writer/Artist and Best Continuing Series) for his work on Transformers, becoming the first author to receive this recognition for his involvement in the franchise.

Notes

  • His favorite Autobot is Optimus Prime, while his favorite Decepticon is Starscream. His second-favorite Autobots are Bluestreak and Grimlock, and his second-favorite Decepticon is Bruticus. Presumably, this influenced the name of the main character’s band in Murder Falcon, as it is called Brooticus (which is awesome).
  • Johnson's love for wrestling heavily influenced the comic's fight sequences.
  • Johnson keeps a number of Transformers figures, both official and 'third-party', on or near his desk to use as drawing references.
  • Johnson has recieved two Eisner Awards for his work on Skybound's Transformers ongoing, namely "Best Writer/Artist" and "Best Ongoing Series" for 2024.
