About
A collection of vital visuals, daily, centred on comic books and cinema. Because their beauty must be preserved.
Another great sketch from the What Not blog: this is Buster Keaton in The General by Jock.
SDCC 2011 images continue: this is the a poster for an upcoming film called The Divide. It’s by Jock, who is a great designer of visuals, so it’s a smart move to get him design your poster.
DC comics for August 2011: Jock provides the cover for Detective Comics #881, and the visceral nature of the punch and the intensity of the emotion behind it are quite striking (if you’ll pardon the pun). I get the feeling that this is what Gotham City villains have nightmares about …
Jock did some designs for poster concepts for Hanna; this is my favourite, but all of them are fantastic.
DC comics for June 2011: Jock draws another great cover for Scalped, this for issue 50, which is a great landmark for a great Vertigo series.
DC comics for June 2011: Jock is another artist who can’t draw a bad cover. The example in this case is for Detective Comics #878, and it oozes class and mood and atmosphere.
DC comics for May 2011: this is the cover to Scalped #49 by Jock. I love the eerie quality to this; Jock is a great cover artist.
DC comics for April 2011: in addition to the Batwoman cover I posted yesterday, these are a few covers that caught my eye in the latest solicitations from DC. This is the cover to Batman: Europa #4 by Jock, who does a great job as usual to create an interesting and stylish visual.
Marvel comics for April 2011: I love the shadow Daredevil on the building behind the figure himself, especially after the large expanse of white space to emphasise the sense of flight. This is the cover to Daredevil: Reborn #4 by Jock.
Marvel comics for March 2011: I don’t think Jock is physically capable of drawing a bad comic book cover, and this one for Daredevil: Reborn #3 is a typical example of his abilities. A suitably moody visual for Daredevil.
DC comics for January 2011: the majority of covers for DC this month are ‘iconic’ covers, which means a white background and a logo. Subsequently, a lot of them don’t intrigue me. This is one of the few that caught my eye: Jock has always had a good eye for design, and this cover for Detective Comics #873 is another cracker.
Robot 6 picked up on the fact that Jock had posted the cover to Daredevil: Reborn #1, the new mini-series after the conclusion of Shadowland, written by Andy Diggle. The visual is good, because it is by Jock.
The Source announced that Jock will be the regular artist on Detective Comics, and this was the teaser image that accompanied the news. Jock draws a mean and moody Batman.
DC comics for July 2010: another Jock cover, this time for the trade of The Losers Book Two. Jock’s art for The Losers was great, and his covers were spectacular, and this is no exception.
