Jeffrey G. Jones used to be a teacher at SUNY/Albany were he was teaching painting. He hadn't read comics in over ten years until
his students started bringing in some comics. He decided that he didn't want to teach anymore and he went into comics.
His first break came when he got some sample pages together and took them to a convention. At the convention he showed his work to Jim Shooter, who at that time was setting up Defiant Comics. He hired Jones pretty much on the spot, and he ended up doing some work on Defiant's Dark Dominion (1994) series. After the demise of Defiant, Jones stayed with Jim Shooter and went over to Broadway Comics, working on the Fatale (1996) book for him for almost a year. That led into his working for Bill Tucci at Crusade, working on Tomoe (1997), the Shi (1997-1998) regular series, and the two part Shi: Black, White and Red (1998) mini-series. After that Jones did the art on the Painkiller Jane/Darkchylde (1998) special for Joe Quesada's and Jimmy Palmiotti's Event Comics. Quesada and Palmiotti liked his art so much that they offered him to do the Black Widow (199) mini-series for their Marvel Knights imprint at Marvel Comics. The mini-series was a huge succes. J.G. Jones is also the artist on the highly acclaimed Marvel Boy (2000-2001) mini-series, written by Grant Morrison also for Marvel Knights. Early 2002, DC Comics published the Wonder Woman: The Hikketeia hardcover graphic novel (96-page story) written by Greg Rucka, for which Jones did the art. Most recently, J.G. Jones has worked on the Wanted (2003-2005) mini-series with writer Mark Millar. Check out Comicbook Artist Checklist for more checklists! |
