Label Notes
Jeff Smith story, Charles Vess cover and art.
Synopsis
Published between Bone #37 & Bone #38, Rose is a prequel to the Bone series telling the tale of Grand'ma Ben as a young princess, Briar as her sister, and Lucius Down as their bodyguard.
The Slab
Tied with several others for the highest graded SS. My raw copy signed by Jeff at the Baltimore Diamond Retailer's summit and witnessed by GOTHAMCENTRAL (with help from Joel Elad).
Update: Charles Vess signature added at the 2014 Heroes Con (thanks to dscott for facilitating)! Graded by CGC on August 11, 2014.
Inside The Comic
Forty-eight pages of story with no ads or letters. The inside front cover has a full color illustration of Rose on the left (holding a large sword with a shield on her back in front of a red dragon…but not THE Red Dragon). The following credits are on the right: Written by Jeff Smith, Illustrated by Charles Vess, and Lettered by Steve Hamaker. The inside back cover has another color illustration of Rose in mid-air avoiding arrows and spears on the right. The following credits are on the left: Font Design by Charles Vess, Logo Design by John Mangus, Jeff Smith as Series Editor. For Cartoon Books: Vijaya Iyer as President, Kathleen Glosan as Production Manager, Steve Hamaker as Production Designer, and Kevin Spain for Shipping and Archiving. It also says #2 ships in December 2000 and Rose #3 in March 2001. Rose #2 was officially released in April 2001 and #3 was February 2002. The back cover is all yellow with a small Cartoon Books title and an illustration of Fone Bone in a thin black border.
