Bone

Bone was originally serialized in an independently, irregularly published comic book series for 55 issues, from 1991 to 2004, notable as one of the longest-running self-published comic book series by a single writer/artist.

Bone was drawn and written by Jeff Smith. Smith’s black-and-white drawings are inspired by animated cartoons and comic strips, a notable influence being Walt Kelly’s Pogo. However, the story contains both light-hearted comedy and dark, epic fantasy, drawing inspiration from J. R. R. Tolkien and others. Different characters are drawn in widely different styles, reflecting Bone’s diversity of tone.

Bone has received numerous awards, among them 9 Eisner Awards and 9 Harvey Awards. The comic ended with its 55th issue, dated June 2004. The back cover has, in place of the usual comic panel, a black and white photo of Smith in his studio drawing the last page on May 10.
