Look Here: “Jones Touch” (1972) by Jeffrey Jones

Here are three “Jones Touch” strips, all dated 1972, that were originally published in Swank Magazine:

Fantagraphics published a comic-book collection of “Jones Touch” strips in 1993 under their Eros imprint, but the book is long out of print. So if anyone has a copy they would be willing to sell me for a decent price, just let me know, because although I don’t own it, I would very much like to.


UPDATE:

Turns out, I’ve been barking up the wrong trees, looking for the Eros “Jones Touch” collection in old back-issue bins and on ebay.ca, abebooks.com, etc., because Eros still lists the book in their Web catalogue. I was prompted to check the Eros catalogue by a recent post on the Fantagraphics blog, which — thank you very much — includes a link to RCN. I have placed an order, and will report back when the book arrives.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Well, Fantagraphic’s “Jones Touch” collection is a huge disappointment. It’s in black and white rather than colour, and it simply doesn’t do justice to Jones’s work at all. No wonder copies were still available from the publisher 16 years after the comic was published.

One thought on “Look Here: “Jones Touch” (1972) by Jeffrey Jones

  1. So I’m curious, did you ever receive your copy of ‘Jones Touch’ from the Eros Comix site? If so, then I need to place my order pronto.
    Your Jones posts are quite a resource for a budding Jeff Jones fan like myself.

    Please keep up the great work. It is much appreciated.

    Thank you.
