Mark Simpson works under the pen name Jock, creating art that spans comics, films, and pop culture. This collection reveals his complete artistic range across multiple mediums. Simpson earned three New York Times bestseller credits and an Eisner Award nomination through his comic work on titles like The Losers, The Black Mirror, Green Year One, Savage Wolverine, Daredevil, and Wytches with Scott Snyder at Image Comics. His film concept art shaped the visual identity of Dredd, Ex Machina, and Star Wars Episode VIII. For Mondo, the pop culture poster company, he created distinctive interpretations of Shaun of the Dead, The Thing, Pan's Labyrinth, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Halloween. The book includes Simpson's personal notes explaining his creative methods alongside commentary from collaborators Scott Snyder and Alex Garland. Special features include gatefolds, vellum overlays, and acetate sheets that demonstrate his artistic process step by step.
