From Hellblazer To The Loser To Savage Wolverine – The Art Of Jock
Dynamite Entertainment is expanding its line of hardcover art books to now include The Art Of Jock. The British illustrator who has worked on series like Hellblazer: Pandemonium, The Losers, Savage Wolverine will be joining other artists on the shelf like Alex Ross, Sean Phillips and Howard Chaykin.
Jock got his break in comics working on Judge Dredd for 2000AD with then editor Andy Diggle who he later co-created the Vertigo series The Losers with. He won the Eisner for Best Cover Artist for his work on Daredevil, X-Men and Scalped. He is currently writing and drawing his first mini-series for Marvel Comics, Savage Wolverine.
"When Nick at Dynamite approached me with the idea of publishing an art book, I felt honoured to be given the chance to put together the first comprehensive look at the work of my career so far," says Jock. "It will include drawings and paintings from all of my comics projects from over the last ten years, including many sketches and unseen material, plus concept art and extensive promotional images from the various movies and posters I've worked on. The quality of the books I've seen from Dynamite has been second-to-none, so I'm thrilled to have a home there for this retrospective."
Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite, says, "Jock pushes the boundries with his art and it is just incredible, as he is one of the most highly sought-after comic book artists of his — or any — generation, both in and outside of the comics medium. His design sense trembles the very walls of human perception; it challenges us to shake off the societal programming that comic art is mere commercial art, and raises it to a higher level and standard. We are damn proud to welcome Jock as the latest addition to our line of high-end art books."
The Art of Jock will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors' Previews catalog and slated for release in 2014.
