Jeff Smith story, cvr/art; 1st app. of Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, Smiley Bone, the Great Red Dragon & TedRecently celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first issue’s publication, Bone creator Jeff Smith announced that plans are moving forward with an animated adaptation of the beloved comic book on Netflix, overseen by Smith and a handpicked “dream team” of collaborators. The story arc of Bone has been compared to Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn” thanks to its mixture of humor and darker themes that underpin the childish appeal of the main characters. Influenced by sources as varied as J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings,” Carl Barks’ masterful work on Disney’s “Uncle Scrooge,” and Walt Kelly’s “Pogo,” Bone has grown to become a modern epic of the comic book form, that has won over many devoted fans who await the animated series with great interest. This issue is where it all started, self-published by Jeff Smith in his own imprint Cartoon Books, the first printing of Bone #1 is a valuable and sought-after issue that has been quickly gaining traction in the collectibles marketplace.
