Dan Panosian

Dan Panosian is an American comic book artist of Armenian descent whose versatile career spans pencilling, inking, coloring, lettering, and writing, with additional work in advertising and storyboards. Born in 1968, he broke into the industry in the late 1980s and has remained a consistent presence across mainstream superhero publishing and beyond.

Panosian built much of his early reputation working on high-profile Marvel and DC titles, accumulating credits on series such as X-Men, Wonder Man, and Green Lantern: Mosaic — a range that demonstrates his comfort moving between the two dominant publishers of the era. His work on Spelljammer showed an ability to bring fantastical, world-building concepts to life, while his contributions to Hook extended his reach into licensed adaptations. More recently he served as artist on James Bond: Origin, lending his linework to a grounded, espionage-driven story that contrasted with the superhero material that defined his earlier decades.

Over a career active from 1987 into the mid-2020s, Panosian has accumulated credits on more than 340 issues. His longevity reflects both his technical range — rare among artists who can credibly move between pencilling, inking, and coloring on the same project — and an adaptability that has kept him relevant across shifting industry trends. No major awards are documented in the available record.
