The Art of Daniel Warren Johnson showcases the majority of DWJ’s kinetic career since his start in 2012. There are a multitude of sections covering his favorite comic-book covers and pages, along with rarely seen commissions and personal works, preliminaries and cover thumbnails. Full access was given to his personal sketchbooks, allowing for a deep look at over 200 sketches that are presented in a dynamic and exciting way.

This sizable book reveals great detail by sharing extended commentary covering DWJ’s thoughts and pathos for almost every piece. This collection has been methodically put together from the original art and through numerous interview sessions with DWJ over the span of four years. This is a highly collaborative book between Flesk and the artist. This team worked in unison on every aspect to bring you the works that DWJ was most excited to draw, that were the most challenging and that were the most rewarding. Each piece is perfectly curated to balance the artist’s wins and his struggles.

All the elements of his career and artistry are presented in a beautiful and organically designed volume to make you feel as if you are sitting alongside DWJ while he takes you through his first decade in the industry.

I only discovered DWJ’s work in recent years, but I’m so glad that I did. In some ways, his art style, in particular the way he depicts action shares similarities with James Harren, another comic artist whose art work I really like. This voluminous art book is packed from cover to cover with really high quality art, and I’m only small nitpick is that I wish it could have been released in hardcover format. Highly recommended.
