Bone #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Jeff Smith's epic BONE series collects issues #7-12 of the original black-and-white comic, following the Bone cousins as they arrive in Barrelhaven and become entangled in the town's chaotic annual Great Cow Race. The story deepens the mystery of the valley, introduces new characters like the flirtatious Stinky and the scheming Phoney Bone, and sets the stage for the larger conflict with the rat creatures. Smith's signature blend of slapstick humor, adventure, and looming darkness makes this a pivotal chapter in the beloved fantasy saga.
In "Chapter One: The Spring Fair," Bone faces off against Phoney Bone, desperate for answers about why the Rat Creatures are hunting him—yet the truth remains just out of reach. Meanwhile, Thorn starts piecing together fragments of her forgotten past, her memories stirring beneath the surface. Written and illustrated by Jeff Smith, with inks, colors by Steve Hamaker, and letters by Smith himself, this issue’s cover by Jeff Smith captures the eerie charm of the Bone world.
In "Chapter Two: The Cave" from Bone #2, Jo finds herself deep in the unknown, where the eerie silence of the underground echoes with tension as Phoney Bone’s evasiveness only deepens the mystery. Meanwhile, Thorn’s fragmented memories stir beneath the surface, hinting at a past she can’t quite grasp.
