Until her death this morning, Jeffrey Catherine Jones had a reputation as the greatest living transgender science fiction, fantasy, and comic book artist. She inspired an entire generation of emerging artists in comics and illustration by infusing fine art techniques into the commercial world of comics.
During her 67 years on Earth, she illustrated over 150 book covers, had a comic strip in the premiere issues of National Lampoon magazine as well as Heavy Metal magazine, did DC cover art for Batman and created countless other drawings, photographs, and paintings now viewable on her website. If you never got a chance to see her work during her lifetime, don't fear! There's an interview and a documentary so you can see the profound effect her work had.
