Oops, just saw you posted yours. Looks like this is a different victim’s book🤬

Sent him the book in 2019

After numerous calls and emails I get an email in 2022 saying “Your book is started and I will send you updates as it goes along

Then nothing. 
 
At this point I know it is gone. And spending Lawyer money is a waste of time. If he filed for bankruptcy then it is all over. He becomes immune.

Oh well expensive lesson

All Famous Police Cases #11 is a favorite Cole of mine.  I love his attempts to do sequential storytelling on the cover, as in the case of Thrilling Crime #49.

Totally agree. I like it just as much if not more than TC49

Here are a few more of the original comic strips, and one that might have come from Jeff's coloring book. These are high quality copies that were composed in a binder, supposedly by one of Jeff's colleagues.

Amazing pics of those classics!   I'd maybe squeeze Perfect Crime #23 in somewhere, and then I'd say you're golden.

 

I am also a big fan of that one! And if anyone has one up for grabs, please let me know...

Three I like…

That Thrilling Crime looks much better than the assigned grade. And that Wanted Comic is sweet!

This just popped on on the Clink exchange. https://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fcgc.asp%3F_SORT%3DYES%26Graded%3D%26f1%3DListDate%26ODire1%3DDESC%26f2%3Di.IssueNumber%2C%2Bi.VolumeNumber%26ODire2%3DASC%26f3%3DLeft(i.Condition%2C4)%26ODire3%3DASC&id=1689172

  Reveal hidden contents

It's a 7.5 Catman 28. Sorry to ruin the surprise.

 

That same copy has been listed on Clink for a while now with an ask of $54k... and that original listing is still up. There are now 3 copies up for sale: the 7.5, a 5.0, and a 2.5.

He also announced an upcoming Kickstarter to reprint all his early Bone comic strips from his college days.

Wow!  That's great to hear!  Would love to read all of these! Hopefully there will be great add-ons like the Tuki KS

I seem to recall that Jeff drew another comic strip during his college years, I believe it had a cat?

I made the drive to see Jeff Smith in Sedona, AZ. Jeff Smith talked and gave a presentation for about an hour. He covered the origins and evolution of Bone, talked about his new project Tuki, and shared some photos from conventions past. It was such an enjoyable event. He then spent about an hour signing and doing sketches for everyone. I suggest following him on IG and joining him in CA if you can, I think he has an appearance or two coming up.

The photos have an odd green tint from the lighting in the room. But here's the promo ad, the first drawing of Bone, and an early cartoon strip. I have more photos if anyone is interested. I got the Bone omnibus, 1st 3 Bone Adventures TPBs, and Rasl hardcover books all signed. They also did a raffle (I won some Tuki prints) and handed out free bookmarks and a Tuki pin.

I believe the last photo shows the first-ever meeting of Fone and Thorn. I posted the clipping from the OSU Lantern above (signed my Jeff). It’s interesting how the characters changed in the comic series. In the Lantern, some of the characters were a bit risqué.

Finally, one I've always wanted arrived today.

 

It has some fun scary stories inside, too!

The QR code (if that's what you mean by barcode) was added on the back in mid-2022.

That’s what I meant 😂. Thanks!

Does anyone know when CGC added a little barcode to the back of their slab labels?

I love this. It looks very high grade 

I knew this book looked familiar. Was this your copy that just sold at auction?

Thank you kindly in advance.

Thank you for the feedback, everyone. I appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply. There isn’t a piece missing, but a ding on the top edge that could possibly be pressed back into place. I have a piece of white micro chamber paper inserted behind the cover, so that might give the appearance of a piece missing from that edge as well as the pages.

Thanks for the reply. There isn’t a piece missing, but a ding on the top edge that pushed the edge down and caused it to bunch up (see photo below). There’s a chance this could  be pressed back into place, I suppose .

Hey, everyone. Just wondering what people think of this one and where it might grade out. Thanks!
