Ravens and Rainbows

Jeff Jones’s Ravens and Rainbows is a singular, painterly fantasy series that debuted in 1983 from Pacific Comics, offering a lush, atmospheric world of myth and mood. Across its single issue, Jones served as both writer and artist, crafting a visually stunning, wordless or nearly wordless narrative that stands as a unique artifact of the early indie comics boom. Its significance lies in its pure, uninterrupted showcase of Jones’s celebrated fine-art approach, making it a quiet, beautiful outlier in the superhero-dominated landscape of its time.
