Reviews
Charming, character-driven fantasy with an elegant design and masterful story-telling in the tradition of Walt Kelly, Charles Schulz and Carl Barks. -- PW<br><br> Like Pogo, BONE has whimsy best appreciated by adults, yet kids can enjoy it, too; and like Barks' Disney Duck stories, BONE moves from brash humor to gripping adventure in a single panel. -- ALA Booklist<br><br> Bone has the multi-level writing and artwork of the best Chuck Jones cartoons or early Disney movies. It's overflowing with subtext about conflicting philosophies of power, cultural imperialism and political responsibility - though not enough to get in the way of its silly fun. - CMJ New Music Monthly<br><br> One of the best kid's comics ever. - Vibe Magazine<br><br>. ..Sprawling, mythic comic is spectacular. - Spin Magazine<br><br> I love BONE! BONE is great! - Matt Groening<br><br> Jeff Smith can pace a joke better than almost anyone in comics; his dialogue is delightful -- so are all his people, not to mention his animals, his villains, and even his bugs. -- Neil Gaiman
Named a top ten graphic novel by Time magazineThis is first-class kid lit: exciting, funny, scary, and resonant enough that it will stick with readers for a long time. -- Publishers WeeklyBONE is storytelling at its best, full of endearing, flawed characters whose adventures run the gamut from hilarious whimsy . . . to thrilling drama. -- Entertainment WeeklyJeff Smith can pace a joke better than almost anyone in comics. --Neil Gaiman, winner of the Newbery Medal for The Graveyard Book
