Daniel Warren Johnson’s ‘Space-Mullet’ Webcomic Gets A New Printing From Image Comics
by Olly MacNamee
It’s safe to say that Daniel Warren Johnson is pretty hot property at the moment, what with his stint on the new Transformers debut selling out with subsequent issues following suit. And before that we had the 2023 Eisner Award winning Do a Powerbomb too. So it seems like a no-brainer to strike while the iron is hot. And that’s exactly what Image Comics are doing in releasing a new print collected edition of his long-running webcomic, Space-Mullet from Image Comics this coming July.

Johnson reminisces on how it all started:
“When I started Space-Mullet, I had just quit my steady teaching job, had no money, and DEFINITELY no work in the comics industry. 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!!!”
As for what you can expect:
“Perfect for fans of Firefly and Cowboy Bebop, Space-Mullet is a sci-fi romp about a ragtag crew of misfits doing everything they can to get by in space.
Space-Mullet is an episodic style comic about a washed up, Ex-Space Marine trucker named Jonah, and his alien co-pilot, Alphius. Together they do their best (and usually fail) to do good throughout the galaxy.”
Space-Mullet trade paperback will be out in comic book stores on Wednesday, July 10th and in independent bookstores and digitally on Tuesday, July 9th.
