From Creepy #16 (August 1967), pages 21 to 26, here’s “Angel of Doom,” with script by Archie Goodwin and art by Jeffrey Jones:

From Vampirella #5 (June 1970), here’s “An Axe to Grind,” a story both written and drawn by Jeffrey Jones:

Connections: Jeffrey Jones vs. Esteban Maroto
Do you see it? Look for the girl with her hands on her head…
P.S. I’d be tempted to cut Maroto some slack and call this an homage to Jones, if not for his longstanding reputation as a lover of swipes in general and for this proof of his excesses in particular!

Alien Worlds #4 (September 1983), pages 21 and 22:
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.
Look Here: Two from 1972, by Jeffrey Jones
I do believe these are from the “Jones Touch” series of strips that was published in Swank Magazine:
What a difference good paper makes to the quality of the scans!
Look Here, Read: SPASM! (1973) by Jeffrey Jones
My apologies in advance for the poor quality of the scans in this post. It’s not easy to get decent results from thin, yellowing newsprint. But if you’re like me, you don’t want scans. You want a hardcover omnibus of every comic Jeffrey Jones has produced!
Published by Last Gasp in 1973 (36 years ago!), Spasm! collects the following short stories, all written and drawn by Jones, solo, for various pro and fan publications: “Co-Incidence” (2 pages), “Spirit of ’76” (4 pages), “Saved” (2 pages), “The Enemy” (5 pages), “Luce” (2 pages), “Deja-Vu” (4 pages), “The Bridge” (3 pages), “Guarantee” (4 pages), and “Death” (5 pages).
Notice that Jones’s distinctive J-cartouche on the back cover is upside down. That’s no mistake on my part; rather, it’s the way the piece was printed. In fact, the identical motif of the woman cradling and kissing the skull also appears, with the same orientation, in a painting and a drawing I posted earlier. Then again, the back cover of Spasm! is reprinted, with the J-cartouche right-side up, in The Art of Jeffrey Jones (Underwood Books, 2002). So…
Look Here: “Idyl” by Jeffrey Jones
Here, as promised in a previous post, are all of the Idyl strips that I saved from Jeffrey Jones’s long-abandoned Web site:
I thought I only had four strips on hand; turns out, I have five. Enjoy!

Don’t click the image if you’re frightened by full-frontal male nudity.
The joke is *meh* but the artistry is first rate.
