Jeff Smith, the visionary behind Bone, returned to Cartoon Books with this ambitious, creator-owned series that blends hard-boiled noir with speculative physics. The story follows a dimension-hopping art thief on the run through alternate realities, a premise that allowed Smith to explore themes of identity and consequence with his signature clean, expressive linework. Though only four issues have been published, the series stands as a bold, mature departure from his fantasy roots, showcasing his range as both writer and artist.
