Label Notes
Jeff Smith story, cover, and art
*Thorn becomes Queen of the Valley*
Synopsis
The final issue in the series serves mostly as an epilogue to the Bone saga save for the first 16 pages. The survivors lay Lucius down to rest and the cousins say their goodbyes to Thorn & Gran’ma Ben as they begin their journey back to Boneville.
The Slab
Third highest graded Signature Series book! I purchased this raw from paperheart on the CGC boards. Like the other Crown of Horns books I purchased from him, it needs a spot pressing to become a 9.8. Unfortunately, CGC doesn’t allow anyone but their pressers to press SS books and keep the pure yellow label. Perhaps, someday in the future, they’ll allow other professionals to complete the work as they used to do. Book was signed and sketched by Jeff at the 2023 Heroes Con. Big thanks to Rich Henn for facilitating! Officially graded on September 21, 2023.
Inside The Comic
Forty-four pages of new story, four page reprint of Solstice (originally printed in the Bone Holiday Special), zero pages of ads and zero pages of letters. The inside front cover is all black where the drawing usually appears. 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, Kathleen Glosan as Production Manager, and Todd Blind for Shipping and Archiving. The issue number appears on the back cover along with the publishing date and cover price.
No Bone-a-Fides or Ads
The Bone-a-Fides were retired in the last issue and the inside back cover is nearly completely black. Only “www.boneville.com” is written at the bottom in small font. The back cover itself features a photo of Jeff inking the final page of the Bone series. He’s surrounded by shelves of Bone statues, action figures, hardcovers, and prints. You can also see the Bone lunch box & mug (description in #27) as well as a Watchmen hard cover and Lord of the Rings.
