Daniel Warren Johnsonhas had a helluva year, first with his wrestling caper Do A Powerbomb!, which was collected in January and picked up a Best Teen Publication award at the Eisners, and later withTransformers. Now, one of the writer/artist’s earliest works is getting a welcome print release from Image Comics.

“When I started Space-Mullet, I had just quit my steady teaching job, had no money, and DEFINITELY no work in the comics industry,” said Johnson. “This book was me throwing everything I had at trying to prove to the comics world I could make something special. The pages are humble, but are a huge foundation for what made me the artist I am now. See proto-DWJ come to life in these pages!!!”

Transformers is part of Skybound’s shared Energon Universe. Discover another part of it in ourinterview with Duke writer Joshua Williamson and artist Tom Reilly.
