Inspired by the DIY ethic of the early punk movement, Shaky Kane contributed to the burgeoning small press scene before finding a regular spot drawing for British music paper The NME. Kane’s work found a home in a whole host of popular British comic strip publications during the late 1980s to the early 1990s, including Deadline, Revolver, Judge Dredd the Megazine, and 2000 AD. Returning to comics in 2010, Kane collaborated with writer David Hine on the highly acclaimed Bulletproof Coffin series for Image Comics. True to his early artistic inspirations, Kane continues drawing for independent publication to this day, and is regularly published on both sides of the Atlantic. Collaborating with up-and-coming writer Jordan Thomas, Kane’s current work includes Weird Work, published through Image Comics, and Bulletproof Coffin: Giant from Oni Press.
Jordan Thomas hails from the South of England but is currently living in Valencia, Spain. His first published comics work was the 1920s post-war, farm-based horror series, Frank At Home On The Farm. Since then he has written a sci-fi short for the Oni Press XINO anthology and the alien world crime story, Weird Work, at Image Comics, both with Shaky Kane as well as the UK crime epic Mugshots at Mad Cave Studios. He likes dogs, swimming, and swimming with dogs.
