I think they were having --script problems over the last year which isn’t surprising. I’m sure some studio or service will give it a shot but will take a lot longer now. Oh well. I also think that a series would be the preferable format. I'm unfamiliar with the process in these scenarios, but wouldn't there be progress made over the last couple of years that wouldn't need to be repeated if a new studio/distributor stepped in? I'm thinking the upshot is that if Jeff does take it somewhere else, he wouldn't need to start from zero, but maybe I'm too optimistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Jeff himself will reveal something about the development. Otherwise, these sorts of things tend to be closely guarded secrets that never reach the public. Still haven’t heard anything about the previous attempt to make it a movie when Warner Brothers purchased the rights about 15 years ago.

vksince82 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Bummer that the show was cancelled. Based on the Jeff Smith's response comic on Twitter are we to assume that any future TV/movie adaption is now off the table?? Would that have any effect on the price of books? For me a long time fan, with a recently rediscovered short box of books during the original run, would like to see a drop in prices so I can fill the holes in my run and maybe score a coveted 1st print number 1.

I would say it’s much more likely that it goes to another producer. The story itself seems very adaptable with a few minor changes. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen anything to suggest prices could get lower as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to OSU when Jeff did and had a short lived strip called Sword Rogers that Jeff was nice enough to mention in his strip. I bought the Thorn: Tales from the Lantern collection and he signed it and drew a few pics. One was his characters and one was Sword Rogers and Fone Bone together. I've attached it, in case you're interested. I'm a big fan of Jeff's work and the handful of times I've met him, he was always super nice.

DocGo Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) After nearly 2 years, another 9.8 of #1 will come up for public auction near the end of November on Heritage (11/17 or 11/18). In that time there have been five 9.6s that have sold publicly with two at ComicLink auctions, one at ComicConnect, and one at Heritage (other was an eBay Buy It Now). It appears to be the latest 9.8 graded and is the 18th Universal label to hit NM/MT. Auction starts on 10/28 and will be interesting to see where it ends. For the record, this is not my book and I probably won’t be bidding. I’m just a fairly neutral observer Edited October 5, 2022 by docgo Forgot about the Heritage auction ADAMANTIUM, WilliamG.Staggers and videoloop 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betting it was one of the 5 Jeff gave in the Kickstarter from last year. What's the 9.8 record -- $13K? Will be curious to see if this reaches that height again....

DocGo Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Two weeks away from the 9.8 #1 closing on Heritage where it presently sits at $5160 with BP. Any guesses on where it could end up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any guesses on where it could end up? I have no idea but of all modern stuff out there Bone has an international audience, (it's been translated to I don't know how many languages), it's much beloved etc so I feel it shouldn't be less than 10k (as a floor) given how small that initial print run was and the fact there's less than 20 9.8s on the census. To me it merits between 20-40k given the impact of the characters and how timeless it is, but ultimately the price of something is determined by what people are actually willing to spend so videoloop, Legion HQ and DocGo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Cartoon Books, it’s been translated into 30+ languages. I also read on the Boneville site that the black & white version of the One Volume Edition is on its 28th printing.
