  William C. Jaaska (June 22, 1961 – November 9, 2009) was an American comics artist.
  
  ## Career
  
  Bill Jaaska's first published comics work was a Skywolf story in Airboy #11 (Dec. 1986). He worked with Peter David on The Incredible Hulk. David has commented that Jaaska's art on The Incredible Hulk #380 was crucial to the impact of the story.
  
  Jaaska is best known for his work on The New Titans published by DC Comics. After leaving The New Titans with issue #113 (August 1994), Jaaska's final new work in the comics industry appeared in Turok, Dinosaur Hunter #23 (May 1995) published by Acclaim Comics.
  
  In 2005, Anthem Pictures used Jaaska's Terminator artwork to create The Terminator: Hunters and Killers a unique "Digital Comic DVD". The product uses art from the original comic books combined with actors reading the dialog, to create a flowing story that does not have actual motion in the traditional sense of animation, but is not static, in that the screen moves across the panels, and focuses on elements considered important by the director. The result is a comic that can be watched on a video screen as opposed to being read.
  
  Bill Jaaska died November 9, 2009 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
