Who is Halo Jones?

Halo Jones is an ordinary young woman living in a vast overcrowded future housing project called the Hoop, adrift in a mundane, oppressive world. Frustrated with her limited existence, she decides simply to leave — and her epic journey begins.

Few characters in British comics carry quite the mystique of Halo Jones, who burst onto the pages of 2000 AD in 1984 — a Bronze Age creation from the legendary anthology that also housed Judge Dredd, Johnny Alpha, and Rogue Trooper, the very icons she shares the comic's pages with. Crafted by Alan Grant and Carlos Ezquerra, she's been a fixture of 2000 AD's world across an impressive near-four-decade span, with two collector-significant key issues marking her legacy. With 54 catalog appearances and a dedicated series bearing her name, Halo Jones is one of those characters who rewards the curious reader willing to dig into the rich, irreverent tradition of British comics storytelling at its finest.
