From the war-torn communities of Northern Ireland in Troubled Souls to the mean streets of Mega-City One, artist John McCrea has a fascinating career defined by its variety. A frequent collaborator with writer Garth Ennis, McCrea went from running his own comic book store to working for IPC, DC, and Marvel, but the journey has not always been an easy one and he speaks candidly to the Thrill-Cast about his work, the people he has worked with, and some of the challenges he has faced. From Hitman to The Simpsons, from Middenface McNulty to Judge Dredd, McCrea discusses how his career has evolved over the past 30 years.
