Today in Comics History, February 28: Happy birthday, Brian Jones!

Born on this day in 1942: the O.G. Rolling Stone Brian Jones (founder, rhythm/lead guitarist, and the band's original leader).

Brian died on July 2 or 3, 1969, after drowning in his swimming pool. The following comic is very likely not how he died.


Brian Jones: so cool except for the drugs everybody wants to be him or look like him!
