Dan Johnson is a North Carolina-born writer, who is first and foremost a fan himself. Dan's love of horror, science fiction and comic books, all of which were cultivated at an early age, fueled his desire to step up from the sidelines of fandom and get into the game as a creative voice.
Dan began his professional writing career while still in college, contributing to several Triad based publications. Dan's first nationally published work came less than a year after he graduated college when he began contributing articles to Scary Monsters Magazine. Since that time, Dan has had articles published in Alter Ego, Back Issue, Comic Book Marketplace, Con-Tour, Filmfax, Hogan's Alley, Monster Memories and Monster News. His work has also appeared in such online publications as Monster Kid and Monster News Online, as well as the comics news website, Comicon.
Dan has also had material appear in the humor magazine Thwak; written scripts for the Michigan-based comic strip, "Midtown" and his first graphic novel, Herc and Thor Pocket Manga Volume One, which follows the misadventures of the legendary Hercules and Thor, was released in late 2006 by Antarctic Press. Currently, Dan is a regular gag writer for the "Dennis the Menace" comic strip, which is seen world wide, and he is also working on two follow-up projects for Antarctic Press.
