Evaluate About Books Bone: The Complete Edition (Bone #1-9)

[Bad morning.]I wasn't sure I'd ever review Jeff Smith's Bone. After all, is there much that can be said that hasn't already been said? Bone's so long been part of the canon of comics literature (such as one exists) that reviewing it at this point is like reviewing Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns or Maus. Or for the non-comics-literate, a bit like if someone penned a review today for Huckleberry Finn. I mean, what's the point, really?Still, I tell myself, there are those who haven't read the

A lot of modern comics are about mixing fine art techniques into the illustration, and exploring very adult themes (cf the abortion storyline in recent Saga). Many of those books are great, and I'm grateful for them. Bone is refreshing in that it embraces the traditional comic form. The panels are not lock-step, and so you wouldn't see it in the funny pages, but the strong, contrasting lines and stylized characters are at home in the tradition of Walt Kelly and Herriman. That isn't to say the

Graphic novels were the big revelation of last year for me; I unexpectedly fell in love with them and I've been itching to read more for months. Since I am a fairly new graphic novel fan though, it would only be suitable to read the legendary classics first and Bone is meant to be exactly that.

This book was recommended to a book group I attend and came with a fairly strong recommendation. It's also a book that a lot of people recognize. I was traveling with it and people would see it and say, 'Is that Bone. Cool!' or the like. I guess I've started to think about it as 'The Hobbit' of graphic novels, a long, entertaining read with some compelling characters (and more than one dragon) that is good on its own but suffers in comparision to 'The Lord of the Rings.' Some of the things I

I am the original author of this review, as well as the owner of CCLaP; it is not being reprinted illegally.)It was through CCLaP critic Oriana Leckert's write-up for her Jugs & Capes essay series last year (book version finally coming next week!) that first brought Jeff Smith's epic comic Bone to my attention, plus of course the fevered recommendations I'd sometimes hear from the edges of the comics-loving



I loved this comic book. The art style reminded me of Belgian comics of my childhood and the story... I must say should be worthy of Tolkien.
