the final issue of jeff smith’s comic book ‘bone’ is being released this month.
next month, the 13,000 page digest-sized softcover edition of the entire series will be released. you can preorder it on amazon for $28 right now, or buy it for $40 in july.
yes, that’s thirteen thousand pages of good comic for $30-40. holy crap!
[addendum] i read it wrong, the book is a mere thirteen hundred pages, not 13,000. still.
awesome. I’ve been planning to buy a trade paperback of bone for awhile, so I’ll just save up and buy the super-large one.
I never had the patience, although it was excellent, to read more than a few issue of Bone at a time.
Now I can do the same thing, but it will all be in one big book, into which I can stick a bookmark, reminding me of my slow, tortuous progress. Hoo-ray!
Now if only Sam Kieth would do the same thing with the first twenty issues of the Maxx. Now that’s a good comic.
