Bone

Bone: The Complete Cartoon Epic in One Volume by Jeff Smith includes all Bone issues, it has 1300 pages.

Bone is a fantastic series. It started in 1990 and ended in 2004. Jeff Smith draws every single panel and tells us an epic story that has plenty of humor, fantasy and drama.

I love many things about this comic. It has very cute moments, by having Phone Bone fall in love. It has very dramatic moments, such as a 20 page chapter that has essentially no dialogue and has one in suspense as to what will happen to our heroes. It has plenty of comedy, coming mainly from Phoney Bone, a trickster. It has a complicated storyline that spans for many pages. It is just a wonderful story. I am not surprised this story has been so popular.

Another thing I love about this book is that it is kind of universal. Kids, teenagers, young adults, old adults, anybody can enjoy this tale.

I highly recommend it.
