"The Map" kicks off Jeff Smith’s beloved Bone series with a vivid, character-driven origin that unfolds through the eyes of Phoney Bone and his kin. As Gran'ma, Thorn, and Fone Bone journey to Boneville to find Smiley and Phoney, the story quietly reveals the roots of their exile—told with Smith’s signature blend of whimsy, mystery, and heartfelt storytelling. The full creative vision, from pencils to inks to colors, is a singular achievement by Jeff Smith, with cover art by Smith himself.
