Bill Jaaska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Jaaska (born 1961) is an American artist whose work has included a number of comic books. He is best known for his work on DC Comic's New Titans following Tom Grummett.[1] During his run as artist on the series he also wrote two issues in 1994.
Jaaska also worked with Peter David during David's run on The Incredible Hulk. David has commented that Jaaska's art on Hulk #380 was crucial to the impact of the story.[2]
In 2005, Anthem Pictures used Jaaska's Terminator artwork to create The Terminator: Hunters and Killers a unique "Digital Comic DVD". The product uses art from the original comic books combined with actors reading the dialog, to create a flowing story that does not have actual motion in the traditional sense of animation, but is not static, in that the screen moves across the panels, and focuses on elements considered important by the director. The end result is a comic that can be watched on a video screen as opposed to being read.[3]
