Biography and education
Steven (Philip) Jones was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1960, and lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio, before his family settled in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1964. Jones graduated high school in 1978, and worked several jobs, including Review & Compliance officer for the Iowa Department of Historic Preservation in Des Moines, Iowa, and proof dispatcher for The Cedar Rapids Gazette, before attending the University of Iowa in 1985. Jones graduated with honors in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Journalism, and was accepted into Iowa Writers’ Workshop Master of Fine Arts program. He is married and has one daughter.[1]
Career
Jones began writing fiction at age nine, starting with The Cases of Ace, an anthology of short-short detective stories. In 1974, he became a schoolyard celebrity after submitting plays to a regional television program, The Acri Creature Feature, and winning five “Creep of the Week” awards in as many months.[2]
Jones wrote his first novel, Caper, in 1976 on a dare from his best friend, Wayne Amsler, that he could not write a better novel than Robert Sheckley’s The Game of X. Jones added a sequel, Sabre-Dance, in 1977. A two-volume anthology, Break of Night, which included a full-length novel featuring Jones’s superhero Vanguard was completed in 1980.
That same year, Jones and a fellow comics fan, David D. Arnold, published the anthology magazine Quazar, which featured the first published work of Dan Jurgens and the first published story featuring Vanguard. Three years later, Jones wrote the script for the second issue of Arnold’s superhero team book, Alpha-Team-Omega.
Jones met comic book artist Christopher Jones (no relation) in 1980 at Minneapolis Comic-Con, and the two have been friends ever since. In 1987, Mystery Scene Magazine published Jones' one-shot comic “King of Harlem” with art by Christopher Jones. Edward Gorman, the magazine’s editor, recommended expanding the comic into a novel, and offered to help Jones find an agent after the manuscript for King of Harlem was completed. After “King of Harlem,” Jones and Jones made their professional comics debut together in 1987 with Street Heroes 2005. They have since worked on Re-Animator, Vanguard, Mighty 1, and Worlds Of H. P. Lovecraft: The Statement of Randolph Carter. They also co-created the series Teenage Mutants (original title: Muties).
Jones sold his first comics series, Street Heroes 2005, to Malibu Graphics in 1987. Since then he has written over 60 comic books and graphic novel scripts for Malibu, Caliber Comics, Sundragon Comics, Arrow Comics, TransFuzion Publishing, and Marvel Comics, and has worked with several notable artists, including Aldin Baroza, Sergio Cariello, Octavio Cariello, Sandy Carruthers, Rob Davis,S. Clarke Hawbaker, Christopher Jones, Dan Jurgens, Bruce McKorkindale, Seppo Makinen, Wayne Reid, Scott Rosema, John Ross, and Jason Yungbluth. Editors he has worked with include Gary Reed, Tom Mason, and Dave Olbrich.[3]
