help Bone FAQ
Who are the three Bone cousins in Jeff Smith's Bone?
The three cousins are Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone. They are driven out of Boneville and end up in the Valley, where they meet Thorn, Gran'ma Ben, and the Rat Creatures.
How many issues does the original Bone comic have?
Jeff Smith's Bone ran for 55 issues from 1991 to 2004. The series was later collected into nine main volumes and a one-volume complete edition.
Is Bone more like a kids comic or an epic fantasy?
It starts with cartoon comedy around Fone Bone and his cousins, then grows into a fantasy story involving dragons, the Lord of the Locusts, and a war for the Valley. That mix is why it is often compared to both classic newspaper comics and Tolkien-style adventure.
Should I read Bone in black and white or the Scholastic color editions?
The original Cartoon Books version is black and white, which shows Jeff Smith's line work clearly. Scholastic's Graphix imprint later released color editions by Steve Hamaker starting in the mid-2000s, which are common in schools and libraries.
