I've never seen one before, and I thought I had everything printed w Bone on it...Is there anything Bone related inside, or is it just the cover? I think I remember when the OA of the cover went up for sale but this is the first time I’ve seen the book. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) If you haven’t backed the Thorn Kickstarter yet, please do so. The campaign will end at 11:59am EST this Friday. It will be your last chance to get the hardcover edition as only the softcover will be available in stores. One of the Tales from the Lantern books was briefly up this morning so you never know if another will become available in these last few days (as the credit card charges loom). Get yours while you can Edited November 14, 2023 by DocGo Thought it was midnight instead of noon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 With the Thorn Kickstarter still going on, there’s still a Thorn Tales from the Lantern that will be auctioned on Heritage tomorrow afternoon. I have a number in mind but does anyone else want to venture a guess on the final bid? I never seem to get responses to questions like this but I thought I’d give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 The buyer definitely got a good deal at $4.8k with the juice. Did any of you watch the auction? The auctioneer couldn’t figure out what she was looking at, since the first image of the book on Heritage is the signed page rather than the cover. She stumbled around for a few seconds then just focused on the bidding without giving much of an explanation. Great for the buyer but not for the consignor. Oh well… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well… Not sure how I missed this but I definitely would have been in there bidding! Really bummed out on a side note glad I didn’t pull the trigger on a $10k copy via kickstarted.

Savvy Collector Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I actually fell asleep during the Heritage auction and meant to be a bidder on that copy of Thorn Tales from the Lantern… seemed like a very good deal. Maybe some of the potential bidders had already backed the Kickstarter weakening the bidder pool?

It can probably be said that the Thorn campaign took some bidders out of the action as well and the timing of the consignment was just unlucky.

Savvy Collector Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 In regards to condition of the Thorn books, I have talked to a couple of people - not sure of their connections but one said 8.0 and up, but the other said they’re from an unopened box so hopefully nm(which seems to be what the Bone #1s from a previous Kickstarter were).

I thought these were all ungraded as cgc won’t recognize them anymore. I would guess that the 5 on kickstarter are in decent condition but probably not mint.

Savvy Collector Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Kickstarter pledges have been collected!…. I will have to update my bragging photo soon! Nice to see that interview with Jeff Aaroncash! I have never met the man but that news scared me! I am excited yet apprehensive to see Bone make the big screen one day!

The “6.5” was assigned by Heritage which seemed to be accurate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaroncash Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Interview quote from Jeff regarding Thorn and doing a kickstarter “Man those comics… nobody wants to see those.

Savvy Collector Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I made the mistake of sending a Thorn book out to CGC for grading - just after I sent it I was horrified to learn that a hurricane was bearing down on Florida… it came back safe and sound but ungraded to my dismay… not a cheap undertaking with insurance etc from Canada! As I told them it should probably come up as not a candidate for grading when you enter it in their database for submitting! I did notice awhile ago that the sole graded 9.8 does not show on the census - I wonder if it was damaged while grading hence they no longer grade the book? My book was returned with an explanation that they no longer grade the book as it can damage the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
