John Freeman is the author of The Really Heavy Greatcoat strips. He has over 20 years experience in publishing, working for companies including Marvel UK and Titan Magazines.
Since the Greatcoat began its run in 1987 he has written
the majority of strips, developing the characters and situations to reflect
local events and changes in his own life. This does not include numerous
partener changes, job swaps and the usual kind of strangeness that often
affects creative types.
John lives in Lancaster. Click here

Nick
Miller is the talented part of the duo,
slaving away creating Greatcoats for nothing at the expense of paid work,
bullied mercilessly by John with threats of breaking all his pencils,
stealing his beloved cats, girlfriend, wallpaper etc. and turning up unannounced
at his usually quiet house with packets of biscuits demanding tea.
His credits include Doctor Who Magazine, The Big Issue, Smut, The Top
Banana and The Planet on Sunday. Nick is a regular contributor to Graphic Classics
in the US, and you can see more of his stuff, regularly updated, at his
website, www.teamsputnik.co.uk or his blog, www.teamsputnik.co.uk/blog.
