American comics artist

Arvell Jones (whose earliest work is billed Arvell Malcolm Jones) is an American comics artist best known for his work for Marvel Comics and for DC Comics and its imprint Milestone Media.

Jones and his brother, Desmond, were raised in Detroit, Michigan, and were both active in early comic book fandom. Along with fellow Detroiters and future comics professionals Rich Buckler, Tom Orzechowski, Keith Pollard, Jim Starlin, Al Milgrom, Michael Netzer, and others, Jones worked on the Detroit Triple Fan Fair, Jones in 2006 recalled how he and his compatriots "would take a 13 hour drive and spend the night with Al Milgrom and his roommate, hang at Rich [Buckler]'s, then go see [art director] John Romita at Marvel, get our butts spanked, and go back to Detroit to work on our samples again." This eventually ran in Marvel Two in One #15 (May 1976). Jones also worked on Iron Man starting with issue #73. When he moved to DC Comics, Jones worked with writer Gerry Conway on Super Team Family, which teamed the Atom with various other DC characters. After that title's cancellation, a Supergirl/Doom Patrol team up drawn by Jones, originally scheduled to appear in Super Team Family was published in The Superman Family #191–193. Jones worked on the DC series All Star Squadron in the mid 1980s, penciling the majority of the issues between 1985 and 1987. He left the comics field for several years to work in television, and focused on graphic design work. Jones returned to comics in 1994 to pencil Marvel Comics' Captain America Annual #13, and issues of DC/Milestone Media's Kobalt, Hardware, and Blood Syndicate. His last published comic was Marvel's Daredevil #343 (Aug. 1995), on which he and Keith Pollard did breakdowns, with finished pencils by Tom Palmer.
