Jeff Byrd

Jeff Byrd is one half of Wolff & Byrd, a law firm specializing in supernatural cases in Batton Lash's comic series. He and his partner provide legal counsel to monsters, creatures, and other macabre clients navigating the mundane world of the courts.

Few characters in independent comics have carved out such a distinctive niche as Jeff Byrd, one half of the supernatural legal duo at the heart of Batton Lash's beloved Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre — a series that launched in 1987 and kept readers hooked for an extraordinary 37 years. Born in the Copper Age from Exhibit A Press, this character inhabits a wonderfully offbeat corner of comics where the law meets the macabre, sharing pages with an eclectic roster that includes Frankenstein's monster, Madman, Megaton Man, and Fone Bone — a who's who of indie comics royalty that speaks to just how warmly Lash's world was embraced across the alternative comics community. With 63 catalog appearances, a key issue to his name, and a run that stretches deep into the Modern Age, Jeff Byrd is a testament to what passionate, creator-owned storytelling can sustain — a genuine hidden gem for collectors who love their comics with a little supernatural flair and a lot of wit.
