Although it was retroactively established that Jessica Jones first appeared 1963’s The Amazing Spider-Man #4 as one of Peter Parker’s classmates, the character has only truly been around for the last 25 years. Writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos created Jessica for the 2001 series Alias, which was published under Marvel’s MAX imprint. Originally a superhero named Jewel, Jessica gave up the costumed crimefighting life following a traumatic experience, and found a new line of work by opening up Alias Private Investigations.
