The modern master of the macabre turns 58…
Kelley Jones is one of the nicest guys I know in comics.
He digs the old school.
And he draws the hell out of everything he does.
So here’s a 13 COVERS birthday salute to Kelley — who was born July 23, 1962 — all culled from his original ’90s run on Batman. Just because.
Dig it.

I love Kelly Jones stuff. For me, he is following in the footsteps of Bernie Wrightson.
