John Clark (30) (1949–)

[from Amazon website]
John Stuart Clark (aka Brick) was born of Austrian-Scottish parents in Berne, Switzerland, two days after Mao Tse Tung stuck China in his back pocket. He became a professional cartoonist the year Margaret Thatcher plopped Britain in her handbag. For some reason, he matured into a political cartoonist and travel writer, with regular slots in newspapers and magazines in Europe, Australia, Africa, and (occasionally) North America. His first graphic novel (GN), Depresso or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace Being Bonkers, was shortlisted for the UK MIND Book of the Year Award. His latest as editor is the seminal WW1 comics anthology, To End All Wars, nominated for two Eisner Awards, and his latest as writer/illustrator is East of Aleppo, a docudrama about a reprehensible incident in the Syrian conflict unreported by the UK's corporate media. Currently completing a comedy fiction GN set in the world of classical music, Brick lives in the East Midlands of England with his partner and a Border Collie who would prefer to live in Scotland.
