He has gone to just about every SDCC since the beginning of Bone so I’ll be following the creator guest announcements. Will definitely post anything of interest here.
Popular Post DocGo Posted March 11, 2024 Author Popular Post Posted March 11, 2024 This is an older image that many of you have probably seen but I just wanted to say that the Kickstarter hardcover for Thorn looks pretty damn good. Cartoon Books continues to produce well-crafted books thru their Kickstarter campaigns: videoloop, Poutine, fonebone6166 and 3 others 6
DocGo Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 There’s a very interesting development occurring at CGC which will affect a lot of Bone collectors like myself: https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/12753/ It says all the big announcements will come in April, specifically what Qualified grades would transition to as well as pricing.
Q-bert Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 I was at the recent Chicago Sports Spectacular Sports Show during St. Patrick's Day weekend and came across a 1st printing of Bone. The only booth that had comic books. Legion HQ, ADAMANTIUM and DocGo 3

Legion HQ Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 (edited) Received the Thorn Kickstarter book today (I had a signed print, so took longer). Gorgeous book put together by Jeff Smith & Co. However, my favorite thing about it may be the reproductions of the three Bone mini comics that he created as a kid, bonused into three little pockets inside the back cover.

DocGo Posted April 9, 2024 Author Posted April 9, 2024 I know some of you purchased one or both of the OA tiers for the Thorn Kickstarter campaign and this was posted on Boneville.com and all their social media accounts: I’m not an OA expert but it doesn’t look like Jeff lightboxed any of these which is obviously a good thing. I think everyone will be pleased ADAMANTIUM, Captain ShipWreck and fonebone6166 3
Ryan. Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the Thorn collection. I got the hardcover, which is a really nice production. I had low expectations for the strips themselves because Jeff has been so down on them for so long but they're really good. The art is way more advanced than I thought they would be considering his experience level as a cartoonist at that point, the jokes are funny, the humor a little edgy, the narrative is engaging. I dare say I might even like them better than the comic series and I like the comics a lot. srezvan, ADAMANTIUM and DocGo 3

I screenshotted all the strips during the pandemic and read them all in one sitting (had a lot of time on my hands ). I’m glad no one will have to do this ever again videoloop 1

Now the question is do I take my verified cbcs books and cgc qualified, and get them jsa “authenticated” and regraded? Anyone with a guess on label color they will use?

Orange seems like a good option.
DocGo Posted April 16, 2024 Author Posted April 16, 2024 By the way…congrats to @Aaroncash for taking over #1 in the Bone (Cartoon Books) registry set! That 9.8 #1 of his was a worthy book to put him over the top. DocGo’s reign of terror is finally over ADAMANTIUM, videoloop and Legion HQ 3
DocGo Posted April 21, 2024 Author Posted April 21, 2024 On 9/28/2023 at 5:20 PM, DocGo said: I doubt any of you have seen something like this and it is my favorite piece of his collection. Jeff drew this full page comic strip in March 1986 for a humor magazine called The Sundial which was given out for free on the campus of Ohio State. Jeff later reprinted the single page in the Bone Reader (1996) and also expanded the story for a full 8 page feature in Disney Adventures Magazine (1994), where many people first discovered Bone. Our collector bought this around 1998 in a cash and trade deal (he traded away an unsigned 3-panel pencil sketch of Fone Bone writing his poetry). The previous owner says he obtained the page from a partner at Character Builders after Jeff sold his share to start Cartoon Books with his wife Vijaya in 1991. If you’ve read the entire Thorn Kickstarter book, you’ll know that this piece of OA will forever be referred to as the Rosetta Stone, coined by Jeff himself. He gave it a full two pages in the back section of the book right after the Thorn strips conclude. It truly is a momentous piece of Bone history and thanks again to the collector for letting us see it
DocGo Posted April 28, 2024 Author Posted April 28, 2024 A fellow board member reminded me that there’s some great examples of Jeff Smith art on CAF that many of you should check out, as well as some alternative artists who’ve given their shot at Bone illustrations. Many of them are convention sketches but there are also some finished pieces that I’m hoping will get a few more likes and comments such as Fone Bone Waving the Flag of Freedom, Jeff’s Busted cover, an unpublished Bone Tribute cover, a Trilogy Tour cover, and the Complete Bone Adventures #3 cover art, which @CoinAddict has shown previously in this thread. Give them a look if you can and please make comments! fonebone6166 and ADAMANTIUM 1 1

Hopefully you get the right opportunity to grab a #1 9.8 yourself and you’d easily reclaim the top spot. DocGo 1
DocGo Posted May 2, 2024 Author Posted May 2, 2024 Anyone see the 9.8 Signature Series of a second print #1 on ComicLink last night? Went for $2100 I’ve never had an interest in collecting the different colored logos but I had an inkling that this may go big since it’s the only one on the census…but certainly not that big.
