Joe Jusko is recognised as one of the best comic artists of all time and has been setting the pace in the industry since he was a teenager.

"Having my very first cover printed on Heavy Metal in 1978 was and still is exciting. That was at the time when Heavy Metal was the magazine to be seen in," he said.

"Everyone wanted to be on that cover and I succeeded when I was only 18. It jump-started the career I've had ever since."

While most comic artists further their career through comic books, Jusko took a different route.
