Bone #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third graphic novel in Jeff Smith's epic Bone series collects issues from the original black-and-white comic run, following the Bone cousins—Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone—as they navigate the dangers of the mysterious valley. The story deepens with the arrival of the rat creatures and the looming threat of the Lord of the Locusts, while Fone Bone's affection for the human girl Thorn grows more complicated. A pivotal volume that escalates the conflict and sets the stage for the saga's larger mythos.
In "Chapter One: Watch Duty," Jeff Smith delivers another richly drawn chapter of Bone, where Lucius and Phoney Bone test their rivalries over a barkeeping bet, while Thorn grapples with the unsettling truth that her visions may not have been dreams after all. With Jeff Smith handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and Steve Hamaker’s subtle colors enhancing the mood, this 2006 Scholastic release captures the series’ signature blend of whimsy and quiet dread. The cover, also by Smith, perfectly frames the story’s early tension.
