Here’s what John has to say about himself.

“I’m a full-time comics creator who has worked for all sorts of different publications all over the world. For the British newsstand kid’s comic ‘Toxic’, I created the strips ‘Rex!’ and ‘Robin Hoodie’. On the internet I write the Hunt Emerson created ‘Ardnox High’ strip. I’ve had stories in Fantagraphics and Rip Off Comix anthologies in America. I’ve had strips in ‘Soft Secrets’ and ‘Wasted’. I’ve written for ‘Artx’ and ‘Men Only’. But in comics fandom I’m best known as the self-publisher of the small press titles ‘Octobriana’ (which won the award for Best New British Comic that year), ‘Armageddon Patrol’ and ‘Loxley’.”

David Hitchcock has been drawing comics for as long as he can remember, but only deemed them suitable for public consumption in mid 90s.

In 1999 he self published his first graphic novel masterpieceSpirit of the Highwayman meeting critical acclaim from the world of comics.

David’s instantly noticeable style returned for such favourites as his spin on Jack the Ripper with the superb Whitechapel Freak, and then again picking up a coveted Eagle Award in 2005 for Springheeled Jack.

In 2008 he published a collection of his best short comic strips called ‘Gothic’ much to the delight of fans at the British International Comics Show as queues for his sketches rivalled those of comics legend Michael Golden.
