Label Notes
Jeff Smith story, cover, and art
*1st appearance of the Mystery Cow
Synopsis
Thorn's strange flashbacks begin and the Mystery Cow makes its first appearance. The cover is easily in my top 5 and is probably my favorite.
The Slab
Highest grade! This was graded back by CGC on June 19, 2017 and remains safe in its plastic shell. The colors look fantastic! Bought off of eBay.
Inside The Comic
Twenty two pages of story and two full pages of letters. The inside front cover has Fone Bone and Phoney angrily pointing fingers at each other from page 6 along with the brief prologue and credits: By Jeff Smith at the top and Cover Airbrush by David Reed on the bottom. The back cover has a panel from page 21 with Fone telling Thorn that they should wake Gran’ma up to show her the map.
Bone-a-Fides
Don Thompson’s review of Bone is mentioned yet again in the Bone-a-Fides and Jeff says the amount of letters that came in because of it were “unbelievable!” He even went so far as to thank a critic for his efforts ;-) Several fans referenced the preview in Cerebus #161 as well, which led Jeff to publicly thank Dave Sim too.
There were a couple of industry letters: one from British comic writer James Robinson and another from Canadian Greg Hyland in a hilarious note of love and hate—love for the comic but hate for his jealousy of Jeff.
Ads
At the moment, I don’t have a raw copy of the first print so I’m not sure what was on the original inside back cover (I sent my last one to be signed for Signature Series back in 2022; hit 9.6). In the third printing, it has the ad for the signed Spirit of Adventure print. There is also information about ordering a subscription and/or back issues with a note that the issues of Bone will be the current printing.
