DocGo Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 If anyone's bidding on the raw Bone #1 1st print that's on ebay, it's, surprise surprise, not NM. Looks like a VF/VF+ from the front cover scan I received (still haven't seen the back). The front looks better than the back. I'd guess it's an 8.0/8.5.

You had nice big scans in your auction - this seller did it the usual overgraded ebay way. If the buyer knows anything comic books, I foresee a big fat negative & a re-list in the future.

DocGo Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Haven't posted a book in a while so here's one from the archives. I've always liked the simplicity of this cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Here's one that I don't see too often. This was the first time a Bone comic was published in color in comic form (mid to late 90s reprints in the "Disney Adventures" magazine were also colored versions). Big thanks to Grails for this beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Here's one of the more recognizable Phoney Bone covers as it was also the cover for the Dragonslayer TPB. This was the final issue in that storyline as well as the final Image publication. The guy I bought this from had a stack of pre-screen rejects, so this can be difficult to find in grade (the lone 9.6 popped up in February '08).

DocGo Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 The image below depicts the way Jeff illustrated Thorn's dream sequences throughout the saga. This was the only first print cover that reflected the style (the Image reprints of Bone #8 & #12 were the same). Obviously it's a tough black cover but a single 9.8 made an appearance a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 This is one of those books that is just a pain in the azz to search for in HG (black all the way around). I've never seen one raw that I thought would hit 9.6 or above so I jumped when this was offered. It has a nice cover too that would look fantastic as an SS.

Bomber-Bob Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 so this can be difficult to find in grade (the lone 9.6 popped up in February '08). I guess the lone 9.6 was mine. I didn't realize it was Highest graded. This issue was purchased off the stands by me. I gotta check and see if I bought multiple copies ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Obviously it's a tough black cover but a single 9.8 made an appearance a couple months ago. I guess I own the lone 9.8 .
