Elwood Johns

Elwood Johns is a student character in Image Comics' Freshmen, part of a collegiate ensemble of young people navigating superhero life on campus alongside classmates like Renee Bellochio, Brady Lee, and others.

Elwood Johns made his entrance in the Modern Age with the 2005 preview launch of Image Comics' Freshmen, a series co-created by Hugh Sterbakov and Leonard Kirk that brought a fresh, collegiate energy to superhero storytelling. Over a run that stretched through Freshmen: Summer Vacation Special and the Freshmen Yearbook, Elwood carved out his place in a lively ensemble alongside the likes of Renee Bellochio, Annalee Rogers, Brady Lee, The Beaver, and Puppeteer — a cast that gives the book its distinct, character-driven charm. With 15 catalog appearances across a tight but memorable publishing window, he's the kind of character that rewards readers who dig into Image's mid-2000s indie superhero scene. If you love comics that feel personal and inventive, Freshmen and Elwood's corner of it are well worth your time.
