    Default Gerard Jones sentenced to six years.

    Former comics writer Gerard Jones sentenced to six years for child pornography.

    Since most of his work was for DC, this seemed like the place to post this. I can't imagine he'll ever get work again. Even after he gets out. His career is over.

    I was shocked when I first read about the charges against him.
    His career is certainly over.

    He should have been given a harsher sentence.

    He is a disgusting human being. It makes me wonder if DC will ever reprint any of his work again. He did a lot of Green Lantern stuff in the 90's including Green Lantern: Mosaic, Guy Gardner: Reborn, Emerald Dawn I and II, and the first 4 years of Green Lantern vol 3. Add in almost 3 years of Justice League Europe and that a lot of stuff that might never be reprinted again.

    I wondered the same thing. I can't imagine they ever will. Plus, who would buy it at this point? Wasn't he the one who said Power Girl's mood swings came from diet soda?

    Nope his stuff is never being seen again. However his stories were important pieces of history for certain characters and I would't be surprised if DC retconned all his stories or retold them in a way so people wouldn't have to read his stuff.

    Disgusting honestly.

    Really shocking stuff. I read tons of his stuff when I first started reading comics, especially Green Lantern and Justice League, so he was one of the formative influences in how I see the DCU so it's really saddening to read all this. Not the sentence, I mean, that seems lenient if anything, but just who he turned out to be.

    That's probably what they'll do. Since Rebirth still hasn't "cooled" yet, they can still go in and retcon some stuff. Though, I think most of his JL stuff isn't canon anymore anyway.

    I find it over-poweringly sad that anybody commits these sorts of offences.

    On the more trivial aspect of his work, by chance I think the only work of his I’ve read is “Men of Tomorrow”, which I thought was at least very good...with the author coming over as sane and humane. It shows what a gulf can lie between “authorial voice” and the real person. One of many examples, of course.

    That I got from library..so nothing to ponder the question “should I dispose of this or not?”. (Purely hypothetical question for me...because I don’t own any GL comic...but suspect I would would take line if I owned a complete set of GL comics, that I wouldn’t get rid of ones he wrote...pragmatically there would be no point, since they would have been bought years earlier.)

    I don't think anything like this has ever happened before. The nature of the crimes seems really concrete and shows an emotional imbalance. He didn't even hide himself well. But I doubt DC will pull stories like Emerald Dawn I and II. You can't rewrite history and these of assets of Warner Bros.

    Can DC take any royalties that Jones would get and donate them to some form of child abuse charity/group. Use his work to do something positive instead of just ignoring it.
