My sister found this . . . graphic novel? comic book? I'm not sure what it qualifies as. Anyway, it's weird. Has anyone read it? I'm half-way through, and I'd be interested in hearing someone else's opinion on it. It's about these cutesy creatures from Boneville (Smiley Bone, Phoney Bone, and Fone Bone) who end up in a weird valley populated by talking animals, killer grandmas, rat creatures, and dragons. I'm finding it . . . odd.

Bone is fantastic. I collected it for a little while, and always thoroughly enjoyed it. I've even got some of the pvc figures that came out. There are several graphic novels out. I think it's got a cute style that appeals to younger readers, but the actual story is just as engaging for adults.
Even better, Jeff Smith, the creator, is a really cool guy. He came to Nightflight in SLC a few years ago to do a signing, he drew sketches for people, it was great.
I definitely recommend you keep reading.

The book I have seems to be the complete story. My sister found it at the library of all places. Oddly enough, I think the only other graphic novels my library has are those Star Wars ones done in anime style.

Yep, husband's a big fan. And there are a few books.

Bones, Bones, Bones, Bones, don't you love to suck the marrow?

Bone is one of the brilliant books out there. I never really read it faithfully, but I can certainly recognize the storytelling he's doing. I would, eventually, like to read more, but I'm focussing on other authors right now.
