Ravens & Rainbows, No. 1


Written, Pencilled, Inked and Cover Art by - Jeffrey Jones

There are all sorts of reasons I might pick up a comic and even more why I might actually decide to buy it. For this particular comic I was first attracted to it because it was published by Pacific Comics; I've previously mentioned that PC comics are always worth checking out due to the quality of the printing. Secondly, the art is stunning (although I'm not a huge fan of the cover), Jeffrey Jones (more recently Jeffrey 'Catherine' Jones) could probably be considered as the least commercially successful of her peers.

(L-R) Bernie Wrightson, Jeff Jones, Michael Kaluta and Barry Windsor-Smith

Published in December 1983, Ravens & Rainbows is a collection of Jeff Jones' work, including a portfolio containing images that had never previously been published in colour. The actual stories in this comic are a little hit and miss, I prefer the one page strips over the longer stories; but for me this comic is all about the art.

Halloween Special!

Today I thought I'd celebrate Halloween by sharing a strip written and drawn by the legend that is 'Bernie Wrightson'. It is entitled 'The Muck Monster' and is from "Bernie Wrightson Master of the Macabre" (issue 1, Pacific Comics, June 1983). Enjoy!
