William C. Jaaska (June 22, 1961 – November 9, 2009) was an American comics artist.
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 #23 (May 1995) published by Valiant Comics.
In 2005, Anthem Pictures used Jaaska's Terminator artwork to create 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.
