Staz Johnson

Stewart 'Staz' Johnson (born 12th August 1965) is a comics artist who moved into comics from the Role Playing Games industry in the 1980s, initially working for Marvel UK on titles including Transformers, Action Force and Death Wreck, with some of his Action Force material subsequently being reprinted by Marvel in the US in the title G.I Joe European Missions in 1989. In 1992 he began working for Fleetway's SF anthology 2000 AD, drawing an episode of Tharg's Future Shocks, a strip he has since returned to more than once, and he has since drawn Killer and various Rogue Trooper flashback stories for the title, as well as Judge Dredd in both 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine. The majority of his work since 1994, however, has been in Ammerican comics including Thor, Force Works and various X-Men related titles for Marvel and various Batman related projects including stints on Detective Comics, Robin and Catwoman for DC. Johnson still lives in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, where he was brought up.
