Jock is of course well known to fans of 2000 AD: in addition to his time illustrating characters including Judge Dredd, Pulp Sci-Fi, Tharg the Mighty and Tor Cyan, he co-created the ex-Judge-turned-criminal Lenny Zero with former 2000 AD editor Andy Diggle. He quickly found international acclaim the Eisner award-nominated The Losers with Andy Diggle for DC Comics, before his critically-acclaimed work on Batman for DC Comics and his Image Comics creator-owned series Wytches, both part of his creative partnership with writer Scott Snyder.
Outside of comics, Jock has enjoyed a successful career as a movie concept artist, working on such films as Star Wars: Theb Last Jedi, Children of Men, Batman Begins, The Losers and the Dredd movie.
