ThatOneGuy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I finally picked up the one volume edition the other day, and after 2 weeks of reading (I had to make it last!) I finished it....I've got to say, it's one of the best stories ever! The only problem I had was with the ending...but other than that, it was very enjoyable!

DocGo Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks for posting these beautiful books docgo. I was just thinking today its been awhile sense this thread has seen some action. Thanks cyber! I've slowed down my purchasing and submitting since April but I should have new books every once in a while. The fact that Colin got banned has put a hurt on this thread too. At present, my goal is to acquire the highest possible blue label grades for #1-11 and mostly yellow labels for the rest (my raws sent to witnesses). Should have a few more in the near future. The #37 is probably my favorite SS so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your thoughts on the ending. I love the first act and really like the second act, but the third is only so-so IMHO. Love the saga as a whole though and have always enjoyed collecting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneGuy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Exactly my thoughts...Now I have to try and start collecting the individual issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #37 is probably my favorite SS so far. Very nice. I have raw 6-10 that I need to get sent in myself. Im still trying to decide if I want to go through with collecting the whole series or just do a 1-10 run and sell off the rest of my slabs. So a random note that you might find interesting. Right now I am currently in Israel on business and Bone is apparently very, very popular out here. The TPB's are being sold in Hebrew at all the book stores.

I've seen blurbs stating that it's been translated into several languages but I've never heard how well the non-English books do. 1-10 is tough but it'll be fun. Other than your #1 do you have any of the first five in slabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjad Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Anybody seen the Thorn precursor book from when Smith was in college? Boostergold, sure have! I own a copy This copy has a neat history with it too and is well documented. The book was signed and sketched and given to the owner of the bookstore where Jeff worked in college as a gift. The owner held onto it and when he passed away the book where inherited with many others. Now its out of the family for the first time and into my hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Anybody seen the Thorn precursor book from when Smith was in college? It's been discussed earlier in this thread I think. Personally, I've lost interest in trying to obtain one. Sellers ask way too much for low grade copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster Gold-migration Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Sorry, docgo, didn't see it. I was just curious because I've never seen one. I was wondering how the grades and pricing for those came out honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjad Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Sorry, docgo, didn't see it. I was just curious because I've never seen one. I was wondering how the grades and pricing for those came out honestly. Most of them are pretty ugly. I feel fortunate with mine and its probably only a mid grade, although presents nicely. There was a really nice looking one that sold on ebay not too long ago. It certainly seemed high grade and went for a hair under $1000. Seems that no matter what the condition is they usually sell for about $750-$1000. Mostly, due to the rarity, I would assume. There are very few of these that seem to be left in existence!

CheezyWhiz Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I figured I would post in the "Bone Appreciation Thread" that I've finally started to really appreciate Bone! Spent the weekend holed up in the apartment with a cold, so I took advantage of the down time and finally committed to read the whole series start to finish. I just finished the third book of the Scholastic color reprint volumes. I have to say.. the art is stunning. Smith is a master of comedic timing and the multitude of expressions on the Bones really shows his depth as a cartoonist. The color is absolutely phenomenal, too. I really find myself slowing down to soak in each panel before going to the next. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
