"A series of black-and-white comics about three odd-looking creatures lost in a valley of dragons, talking bugs and rat creatures... Bone combines the humor and look of early Disney movies with the scope of the Lord of the Rings cycle. Smith draws characters that are both cute and scary, infusing every panel with dynamic energy. The best all-ages novel yet published in this medium, while children will read Bone for its breathless adventure and sight gags, older kids and adults will appreciate the themes of blind fanaticism and corrupting power." TIME.comix - Andrew D. Arnold"Like The Lord of the Rings, BONE glides past the trends and fads of the day, its lovely sails blown full with the steady, strong wind of the Mythic, the Classic. Best yet, and doing Tolkien one better, this Jeff Smith guy can DRAW!" Frank Miller, Batman: Dark Knight Strikes Again, 300
