Dear Readers,
Bone is one of my favorite books.
Please check it out if you have the time.
Best wishes to all!

ps. the new Scholastic version is nice in color.
I wonder if the B&W Usagi will ever be released in color?

I'm preety sure Stan here is familiar with Bone.

You couldn't be closer to the truth...



Actually Mr. Sakai made a 5-part story called "Riblet", set in the universe of Bone. It was reprinted in the "Stupid, Stupid Rat Tails" TPB.



And yes, Bone is a chef d'œuvre, the problem is that the series has ended two years ago. I don't really know what Jeff Smith's doing now, can somebody keep me up to date ?

(mmmh, reminds me that I have only the ten first TPBs of Bone and I constantly and inexplicably forget, since more than one year, to buy the eleventh and last volume. Scatterbrain I am, really. )

Pues ahora cerdos (¿o "jabalies"..?)

Dude acaba de publicar un tomo en formato Dude Gold que incluye diversas historias cortas relacionadas con el universo de Bone. La principal está protagonizada por Riblet, un cerdo muy juguetón y las dos mostrorratas habituales de la serie madre. Riblet está escrito por Tom Sniegoski y dibujada por Stan Sakai y la verdad, es divertidisima, un ritmo endiablado, humor a lo grande y dibujos simpaticos hacen de esta historia algo muy pero que muy recomendable. El tomo, como ya os he comentado, se complementa con historias cosrtas de Bone que ya habían aparecido en otros especiales de la casa.

I was pleased that they decided to reprint the one volume edition of Bone. Now I just have to buy one and read it at some point.

And yes, Bone is a chef d'œuvre, the problem is that the series has ended two years ago. I don't really know what Jeff Smith's doing now, can somebody keep me up to date ?

Starting in February look for a four issue prestige format mini-series called Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil from DC.

Yea, i was reading about that, its seems to be a remake of these old captain marvel issues from a while back. Also, its so cool that Usagi Yojimbo book six has an introduction by Jeff Smith. So far, i've heard so many goods things about Bone and haven't heard of anyone who didn't like it. I already enjoy the characters, and the story leaves you wanting for more.

Wow! That ranks right up there with some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen...

I'll have to go pick up the "Bone" anthology now!
