Career
Jones is best known for his work as cover artist on various comic book series, including a stint on Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man (Vertigo Comics), and, for DC Comics, the six-issue limited series Villains United written by Gail Simone, as well as all 52 covers for the maxi-series 52.
Jones' interior art credits include: Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (pencils only) written by Greg Rucka, Mark Millar's Wanted (pencils and inks) published by Top Cow and Grant Morrison's Marvel Boy published by Marvel.
Jones was intended to be the sole artist on the Grant Morrison DC event book Final Crisis. However, due to delays, Jones was assisted by artists Carlos Pacheco, Marco Rudy & Doug Mahnke for issues #4–6, and replaced for issue 7 by Mahnke. Jones noted that "Any problems completing the series are my own. I love Doug Mahnke’s art, and he would have probably been a better choice to draw this series in the first place."
Since then, Jones has been mostly providing covers for DC Comics, on titles such as Batman and Robin, Doc Savage, Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. and Mister Terrific. In 2012' DC will release Before Watchmen: Comedian, written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Jones.
