Bone

Jeff Smith’s epic fantasy saga Bone originally ran in the United States before this compact four-issue series from Bonnier Carlsen brought it to a Scandinavian audience in 1995–1997. Following the bumbling Bone cousins as they stumble into a mysterious valley, Smith’s lush, cartoony art and sprawling adventure storytelling made this a beloved entry point for readers new to the genre. Its blend of humor and high fantasy, anchored entirely by Smith’s singular vision, remains a touchstone for creator-owned comics of the era.
