Bone #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fourth volume in Scholastic's full-color graphic novel adaptation of Jeff Smith's epic BONE saga collects the 'Dragonslayer' storyline, following the Bone cousins and Thorn as they face the growing threat of the rat creatures and the mysterious Lord of the Locusts. The story centers on Fone Bone's deepening bond with Thorn and the revelation of her hidden past, while Phoney Bone's greed and Smiley Bone's antics add comic relief to the escalating fantasy adventure. Originally serialized in black and white, this edition presents the tale in a vibrant format aimed at younger readers and new audiences.
In "Prologue: Stick-Eater," Jeff Smith delivers another chapter of the whimsical, offbeat adventure that defines Bone, with the story unfolding as Thorn departs Barrelhaven to confront the Red Dragon, while Fone and Smiley Bone aid a vulnerable baby Rat Creature in its escape. Phoney Bone, ever the opportunist, makes his exit with a caravan of loot, leaving the town behind in his wake. The entire issue is drawn, inked, and lettered by Jeff Smith, with coloring by Steve Hamaker, and the cover by Jeff Smith captures the tale’s quirky, adventurous spirit.
