Jock

Jock is the nom de plume of Mark Simpson, a British comics artist and writer who was born in 1972 in Scotland and is not yet dead. His website is here. (Maybe he likes marijuana.) He has produced several covers for 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine and was the main concept designer for the movie Dredd. Jock has also contributed art and concept designs to Batman Begins and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

For 2000 AD Jock has drawn Pulp Sci-Fi (with Gordon Rennie), Judge Dredd and Tor Cyan (with John Tomlinson). For the Judge Dredd Megazine he has drawn more Judge Dredd (with John Wagner) and Lenny Zero (with Andy Diggle).

In 2001 Jock won the National Comics Award for 'Best New Talent' for his work on Judge Dredd (tied with Frazer Irving, who received the accolade for Necronauts). He has also been awarded a Stan Lee Award for 'Best Ongoing Series' (for Detective Comics, with Scott Snyder and Francesco Francivilla).
