As evidenced by the banner I made for this forum, I would have to label Bone as my favorite Indy book. Now, I will be honest, and tell you that I read very VERY few small press books. So my experience in this area is admitedly limited. But, that admission should do nothing to lessen the greatness of Bone.
Jeff Smith, through simple cartoon style illustration, set the tapestry for an amazing epic-fantasy story that pulls you in and holds you tightly against the warmth of the characters. I have read the first six trade paper backs, and wish I had more. Because, even though those six books presented a vast canvas of a story, I feel there is so much more out there to take in from this world.
To be honest, I'm not even sure how many more books there are in this line, but I should find out. Do any of you know how many more stories are out there about Fone, Phoney and Smiley Bone? Do the Rat Creatures ever get a decent meal? Or does the Dragon win the day?
Or do you have a favorite book you'd like to discuss? Please, go right ahead...
