Justice League Adventures #25

November 4, 2003: Chris Jones Talks “Justice League Adventures #25”

Toon Zone has conducted an interview with artist Chris Jones, asking him about his work on the up-coming work on the first 2-part story in the "Justice League Adventures" comic book title. Titled "Strange Days", the story sees the Justice League transported to a distant planet where they encounter veteran DC hero, Adam Strange. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

Q: You have just finished working on "Justice League Adventures #25", which is the first in a run of "Justice League Adventures" comics you are penciling. How many are you scheduled to do at this time, and can you tell us a little about them?

A: Well I keep doing them on a semi-regular basis -- as often as they'll give them to me. The reasons for how they arrange the stories given to me and other artists in the production schedule is a bit of a mystery to me. I've been working pretty steadily since my last published story, which was "Justice League Adventures #18", but only now are more coming out. The new story is a two-parter, so I'll have two issues back-to-back. After that, I've got three more issues penciled already and am in the middle of a fourth, but I'm not sure when they'll be scheduled.

Q: "Strange Days" is the first two parter in the comic and heralds the return of Adam Strange. What input did you have in designing the character for his "Justice League Adventures" debut?

A: It's a pretty traditional Adam Strange design, actually. Just giving him the slightly angular body shape of the "animated" drawing style was the largest concession to changing the character. The only minor tweak I made to the costume was giving his pistol holster a thigh-strap. I just thought it not only was a realistic touch but helped emphasize the holster which along with the jet pack helps give the costume its retro flavor.
