Stewart "Staz" Johnson is an English comic book artist and penciller, best known for his work on DC Comics' "Robin" and "Catwoman" series.

Biography

The artist got his start working on magazines which covered the then-burgeoning fantasy role playing games industry. From there he got work at Marvel UK where he worked on weekly comic book series such as "Transformers" and "Action Force". During this period Johnson's first work was published in the US in Marvel Comics "G.I. Joe European Missions" in 1989; however this was not original work - the series reprinted his Marvel UK "Action Force" material.

In 1992 he did his first work for Fleetway Edition's "2000 AD", a Tharg's Future Shocks feature. His most recent work on the title was part of a Rogue Trooper serial in 2003.

His work on Marvel UK's "Death Wreck" series in 1994 led to him getting work from Marvel US on titles such as "Thor" (1994), "Force Works" (1995) and "Spider-Man: Funeral for an Octopus" (1995).

He then began a long period where he worked exclusively for Marvel's competitor DC Comics, initially on a six issue storyline in "Detective Comics" #689-694 (September 1995- February 1996) which led to stints as regular penciller of "Robin" (1996-1999) and "Catwoman" (2000-2001). His most recent work for DC was the inter-company crossover "Batman/Aliens II" limited series in 2003.

In 2003 he returned to Marvel, and it is at that publisher that most of his work has since been published.
