Jim Keefe is a the most recent artist to contribute original art and stories to the Flash Gordon comic strip. Born January 20 1965 he attended Joe Kubert's School of Cartoon and Graphic Art after a very brief career at a more academic institution.

From there he went to King Features where he worked as a colorist and briefly ghosted (drew anonymously) Secret Agent Corrigan before getting the assignment to do one of their flagship features. His tenure lasted from January, 1996 to March 2003 when economic issues made it impossible for him to continue. Since then he has devoted his time to teaching, freelance assignments, promoting groups such as the National Cartoonists Society and work on a graphic novel chronicling his Father's service during World War II as a member of Patton's Third Army. His work on Flash Gordon continues to be reprinted in syndication.
