Creation
Agent Jay Kelly was created by writer Simon Oliver and first drawn by artist Robbi Rodriguez for the series FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics (previously called Collider).
In a Vertigo news column, writer Oliver describes the premise behind the character;
“There’s old FBP agents and there’s bold FBP agents, but Jay’s both. One of the last of the old-school, hell-raising breed of FBP Agents. Only it’s a matter before his private life threatens to catch up with him and tear the team apart.”
