Nick Roche
Nick Roche is an Irish comic book artist for IDW Publishing who currently does interiors and alternate covers for the Transformers Spotlight series of comic book one shots. He is awesome.
Nick Roche is a native of County Wexford, but currently resides in Dublin, Ireland. Nick has always been a massive Transformers fan and gained a lot of fan support for his work. Initially, his first Transformers artwork was for fan fiction and convention comic books.
Nick got his break into transformers when IDW publishing acquired the Transformers license after Dreamwave Comics folded. A friend of Nick's by the name of Dave Hendrick sent IDW supremo Chris Ryall Nick's samples.
Twenty minutes later there was an email back from Chris.
Nick has drawn "Spotlight: Shockwave", "Spotlight: Hot Rod" and he wrote and drew "Spotlight: Kup". He's also penciled numerous covers for the different Transformers series, including a piece for the "Target 2006" reprints featuring the original team of Wreckers, which included Impactor and Rack'n'Ruin. Nick is also working on the new Transformers UK comic book and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
