About the series
In this 2005 Free Comic Book Day special from GT Labs, writer and artist Mark Schultz offers a vivid preview of his historical graphic novel Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards. The story dramatizes the real-life 19th-century rivalry between paleontologists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope—known as the "Bone Wars"—as they race across the American West to claim spectacular dinosaur fossils. Schultz's meticulous linework and period detail bring this scientific and personal feud to life, making the comic a compelling entry point into a pivotal chapter of natural history. Though a single issue, it remains a celebrated introduction to Schultz's acclaimed work in historical adventure comics.
