Label Notes
Jeff Smith story, cover, and art
Synopsis
Thorn, Fone Bone, and Bartleby race to Tanen Gard to find the Crown of Horns while Gran’ma Ben, Phoney, and Smiley stay back to help defend Atheia.
The Slab
Second highest grade for Signature Series! Like my #50, this is a raw comic I bought from paperheart that only needs a true professional pressing in a few spots. CGC still only allows their own pressers to press SS books and keep their yellow label. I’m praying they eventually go back to their old policy of letting certain pressers retain the Signature Series designation. The book was signed by Jeff at the 2023 Heroes Con. Big thanks to Rich Henn for facilitating! Graded by CGC on September 21, 2023.
Inside The Comic
Thirty-two pages of story, zero page of letters, and zero pages of ads. The inside front cover has a drawing of dragons battling Queen Mim from page 4 with the black & white “coloring” reversed. The brief prologue is on the top left and the credits are as follows: Written and Drawn by Jeff Smith, Cover Color by Steve Hamaker. For Cartoon Books: Vijaya Iyer as Publisher and Kathleen Glosan as Production Manager. The issue number appears on the back cover along with the date and cover price. It also features a panel from page 5 illustrating Queen Mim turning to stone.
No Bone-a-Fides and just One Ad
As I alluded to in the previous issue, the Bone-a-Fides do not appear. Yes, I know Jeff assured us that this wouldn’t happen but it looks like he had to use every page possible for the story. Thirty-two pages of narrative ties #49 for the most in the series so far so I think everyone will forgive him. The inside back cover has a color ad for the final three issues which shows each of their finished covers (without the Bone title).
