Do not be fooled by the cute Disney's cartoony style pictures of the
Bone series. Despite the comical approach, the series has a strong plot. This creation of
Jeff Smith, running an erratic publication schedule for 55 issue, from 1991 until June 2004. The story, started as a light-hearted comedy, turning into a dark, epic fantasy, and drawing inspiration from
Tolkien’esque genre
The main characters of the series are the Bone cousins: the greedy
Phoney Bone, the comedy relief cigar-smoking
Smiley Bone, and a very polite and big Moby Dick fans -
Fone Bone. The story then quick to shift the focus to
Thorn Harvestar, a simple farm girl which later revealed to be an important figure for the ensuing battle with dark army of The Lord of the Locusts.
The story has been collected into a set of nine
black-and-white trade paperbacks. On 2004, they publish the
1300-page story into a single paperback volume:
The Bone One Volume. While has been praised as an important step toward reaching readers outside the traditional comic-book-reading community, this super thick (
4 inch!) book will come in handy in
many-many different ways.
Here's a sample pages from Bone vol.3:
Eyes of the Storm.
