That was a tantalizing video..brb..clean up aisle me. Another great piece...thanks for sharing @DocGo! I just picked up a run of Castle Waiting..looking forward to reading it even more now that I know there's a Bone appearance!

Holy cow is that cool...

Me too!! I can still smell the dingy old comic shop I discovered it in...I saw those little white dudes and was completely taken with them. I remember it vividly! Niiiice...I've never seen that painting before...it's beautiful! Is there more concept art out there that you know of? Wowzers.

How much did it go for?? I'd love to see the whole series divided up the way the trades are, and done up as artist's editions...it'd be an incredible collection of books! Agreed! It's cool how they repurposed that art with a different background...that's the first panel of Issue #7 when Fone Bone and Thorn arrive at the Spring Fair...they turned Fone's frown upside down and ditched Thorn's basket.

It's all very cool...thanks for working it out with the collector so we're able to see these gems. I definitely don't have everything I wish I did..lol..I've got over 1000 raw issues now, around 90 #1s of various printings, and at least one of every printing of every issue. I'd like to complete a set of 9.8s..that's a long-term goal. Favourite items in my collection: the #1 and OA from the Tuki Kickstarter, the Before Bone Artist Proof, Red Dragon and Smiley cold cast figures, and a couple of pristine copies of the Image #2 newsstand editions. Don't have, wish I did: Tales From The Lantern is the glaring hole in my collection...someday! @DocGo, that ugly clay mug you posted a while back is something I've never seen in the wild..would love to get my hands on one of those too. If I could create a Bone item: -I would love to see more figures..maybe a series of them. -a 40th Anniversary #1 reprint in a few years -a large format Artists' Edition omnibus - similar to the one they did for the Great Cow Race -and more art prints..lots of em

Two things today..first, a quick shoutout to @WilliamG.Staggers..I purchased a first print #1 from him in 9.2 which arrived today. Always appreciate the opportunity to buy from the members of this community! Second, I was looking through my collection today and got to thinking about what you guys might have tucked away in your Bone collections. • Which items are your favourites? • Is there anything you don't have that you wish you did? • If you could create any Bone item that we haven't seen yet, what would it be? @DocGo great OA posts...can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve!

Umm.. @DocGo it's SO Thursday right now... ;)

I got one of those HA 9.8 #4s...bought it months ago and just opened it yesterday (I'm Canadian, and shipped it to a US address..just took me longer to get it home than I thought it would). The book doesn't look anywhere near 9.8, and the back of the slab was cracked. Not sure I'll be able to do anything about it either since it was purchased so long ago. Suuuuper disappointing. Fantastic, dude! That's really something.

I've seen all of Jeff's pages, and some of the guest art for this book..it's gorgeous all the way around. Excited to read it in September! What's the sketch card you're referring to? Is it still elusive? I bought a 1st print #11 in 9.8 from Heritage a couple months ago, and this one went for double what I paid! Crazy!!

The art for Tall Tales 2 is gorgeous all the way around!

Just adding some fairly obvious ones to the list - @docgo, you can weigh in on the relevance of some of the lesser characters/Mystery Cow as it relates to this conversation! #1 - first Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, Smiley Bone, Red Dragon, Rat Creatures, Ted #2 - first Thorn, Miz Possum, Possum Kids #3 - first Gran'ma Ben #8 - first Mystery Cow

Hey guys! Thought I'd post the OA I picked up from the Tuki Kickstarter in case anyone is interested...I finally brought it home a couple months ago.

Which I still want... ;) haha

*drooooooooooooooooooool....* @docgo- those SS 38s are awesome!

I'll refer my wife to you when things get hairy.
