"Charming, character-driven fantasy with an elegant design and masterful story-telling in the tradition of Walt Kelly, Charles Schulz and Carl Barks." -- PW "Like Pogo, BONE has whimsy best appreciated by adults, yet kids can enjoy it, too; and like Barks' Disney Duck stories, BONE moves from brash humor to gripping adventure in a single panel." -- ALA Booklist "Bone has the multi-level writing and artwork of the best Chuck Jones cartoons or early Disney movies. It's overflowing with subtext about conflicting philosophies of power, cultural imperialism and political responsibility -- though not enough to get in the way of its silly fun." -- CMJ New Music Monthly "One of the best kid's comics ever." -- Vibe Magazine ".Sprawling, mythic comic is spectacular." -- Spin Magazine " I love BONE! BONE is great!" -- Matt Groening "Jeff Smith can pace a joke better than almost anyone in comics; his dialogue is delightful -- so are all his people, not to mention his animals, his villains, and even his bugs.

" -- Neil Gaiman.
