And for the Second Part of our Creator Double Bill, to usher in our 150th Podcast, we have the one and only Jock! It's fair to say that without exposure to Jock's work, Coffee & Heroes may not even exist. Listen on to find out why... You name it, he's worked on it - Batman, Judge Dredd, Wolverine, Green Arrow, Superman, 2000AD, and then there's the creator owned work such as The Losers, Wytches and Snow Angels amongst others. It was a genuine pleasure to speak to the man himself, go through his entire career path and we hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed talking to him!

To kick things off for our double sized 150th Episode Spectacular, we are chatting with one of the industry's brightest artists. Don’t take our word for it, just ask Marvel who included him in their 2020 Stormbreakers, their way of showing the next generation of elite artists. To give you an idea of the talent involved in that 2020 class, think Patrick Gleason, Peach Momoko and Juann Cabal amongst others. He’s worked with some of the best writers around too, including Nick Spencer, Benjamin Percy, Rodney Barnes, Donny Cates and Al Ewing. Clearly, his reputation precedes him. We chat all about his career, what titles got him interested in the industry, what it’s like playing in Johnathan Hickman’s playground and what the future holds. We may even find out what some of his favourite comics of all time are...
