Briar Harvestar

Briar Harvestar is a sinister antagonist in Jeff Smith's independent epic Bone, connected to the Harvestar family and aligned with dark forces threatening the Valley, serving as one of the story's most genuinely menacing figures amid its blend of humor and fantasy.

Emerging from Jeff Smith's beloved independent epic Bone in 1992, Briar Harvestar is one of the darker presences haunting that richly imagined world published by Cartoon Books. Sharing the page with iconic figures like Fone Bone, Thorn Harvestar, Gran'ma Ben, and the ominous Hooded One, she moves through a story that blends whimsy with genuine menace in a way few comics of the era managed. Smith's Bone was a landmark of the Copper/Modern Age independent scene, and characters like Briar are part of what gave it such lasting depth and shadow.
