Edward John Jones (18 January 1935 – 15 October 1999) was a British science fiction illustrator; initially known as a fan artist, he later became a professional freelancer.
Jones was active in the field from 1953 to 1985, and reprints of his artwork continued to appear on book covers until his death in 1999.
[1] In 1969, he became the art editor for Vision of Tomorrow, a short-lived British SF magazine.
[2] The Science Fiction Writers of America described Jones as "the precursor to a generation of artists that helped define the look of early '70s SF illustration".
In Larry Niven's short story "Singularities Make Me Nervous", from Convergent Series, the protagonist, speaking in the future, describes his apartment as containing "Eddie Jones originals".
