Bio

At age 14, Dan Panosian sent an art submission to Marvel Comics, which responded with encouragement. Years later he showcased his work at the New York Comic Convention, where noted comic book artists Neal Adams and Walt Simonson took notice. Adams offered him a position at his ad agency Continuity Graphics and Simonson called his editor, Ralph Macchio, at Marvel Comics. Panosian was soon working for both companies. Upon entering the Marvel offices for the first time he was greeted by the same Submissions Editor, Len Kaminski, who had corresponded with the young Panosian years earlier. On his office wall was a “thank you” illustration from the 14-year-old Dan Panosian.

 

After working on back-up features for Captain America, Batman, Spider-Man and Thor, Panosian’s work caught the eye of the artistic teams working on the X-Men line of comic books where he became a regular inker. When Marvel’s top artistic talents left to form Image Comics he was asked to join them and began illustrating comics that often sold close to a million copies each month, sometimes more.

 

Since then Panosian has been an in-demand cover artist for Marvel and DC, and done series for Image, Dark Horse, Boom! and Dynamite. He also founded Dan Panosian, Inc., through which he began doing advertising work and design and storyboard artwork for movie studios, commercials and video games. 

 

Fun fact: he made the fake comic book covers seen in the film Logan, as Marvel Comics did not allow the use of actual comic book issues!

Stretch Goals

Timeline

The files are ready and will be going straight to the printer after the end of the campaign. Expected delivery time  to our fulfillment center after all signatures and remarques are done is roughly three to four months after that, but with the current state of supply chain shortages there could always be slight delays. We're aiming for a December 2022  delivery date and Zoop will keep supporters updated throughout this process.
