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 work published in Alter Ego, Back Issue, Comic Book Marketplace, Con-Tour, Filmfax, Monster Memories, Monster News and Thwak. His work has also appeared in such online publications as Monster Kid and Monster News Online. Dan has completed an as yet unnamed comic book mini-series for Antarctic Press and recently began contributing material  to the "Dennis the Menace" comic strip.

While covering the independent horror film Dead Inn for Scary Monsters, Dan managed to stumble his way into an on screen role as "Singing Zombie #1". These days, Dan prefers to do most of his work involving the film industry from the safety of his computer. Dan wrote the screenplay for the Horror/ Western short film, Boot Hill Blind Dead: The Handsome Stranger and he is always open to writing additional film scripts if and when his schedule allows.
