Description

Elektra by Daniel Warren Johnson. Commissioned at NYCC 2021. 6" x 9"

It's 5 AM on Thursday of Day 1 of NYCC 2021 and I trudge myself out of bed and get the day going somehow. It's all a little blurry now.

I was on a mission to guarantee myself a DWJ piece without really knowing what the situation was.

Also to get on the line out in the streets outside of Javits Center with the diehards, an annual ritual in years past, one that I sorely missed without the convention in 2020.

I got there by around 7 AM and the line was already 2 and a half blocks long. By the time the crowd was filing in to the line inside the convention area I ended up being around halfway through the first cue row with a few more hours to wait. As soon as they unleashed the hounds and I got safely clear of crowds of people in front of me, I RAN towards their booth in Artist Alley and got myself on the list. I was 2nd!

I asked if Daniel wanted to draw something he wanted to do or hasn't done before but it may have been too early in the morning for that lol. So I asked if he had a preference between Elektra and Swamp Thing and he didn't, so I opted for Elektra. Not really a huge surprise considering where my collecting has been lately but I've been dabbling in the Green as of late also.

Anyway - I couldn't be happier with this dynamic piece. I've never been more blown away by a same day convention commission.

It is filled with that enigmatic sweeping movement that screams Elektra to me, and breath taking nuance in her character design elements, and sweet background details that do all the mood setting.

It pays homage to FM and BS but distinctly DWJ.

I'd selfishly love to see a whole boatload of interior pages of this character done by him some day in a standalone graphic novel because I think he could absolutely kill it and join that type of legacy for the character.

Thanks again to Daniel and Felix/Yams and the crew.
