Biography

A comic artist, Jesse Lonergan's place of birth was California, a state in the United States. He is responsible for the creation of a variant cover for the ninth edition of the 2021 comic series, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures. This particular issue had its story written by Daniel José Older, its artwork penciled by Toni Bruno, and was distributed by IDW Publishing as a component of Phase I of the larger Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia endeavor. His variant cover was exclusively available online for New York Comic Con on October 7, 2021, which was the day following the release of the issue's standard cover. The artist expressed his gratitude to Mark Irwin, Editorial Director at IDW Publishing, for providing him the opportunity to create the cover.

Lonergan released one of his favorite panels from The High Republic Adventures Annual 2021 without lettering.

In addition, Lonergan provided both the pencils and colors for "Crash and the Crew Do What They Do," a brief comic story included within the annual one-shot issue, The High Republic Adventures Annual 2021, which is part of the Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures series. Older was the writer of the story, and IDW Publishing released it on December 15, 2021. His involvement with the issue was initially made public on September 15 of that year, via a post on StarWars.com.

Before the issue was released, he used his Twitter account to thank the writer and Heather Antos, the series' editor, for their contributions to the project, and he also shared some of the comic's blank page layouts. Lonergan also shared two additional unlettered artwork spreads from "Crash and the Crew Do What They Do," including one that he considered to be among his personal favorites. In a summary provided by the publisher for Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, Volume Two, a 2022 trade paperback that contained The High Republic Adventures Annual 2021, he was mistakenly identified as "Jess Lonergan."
