Books with author JEFF SMITH

This collection contains some of the most exciting, suspensful and fantastic chapters of the BONE saga! From the nighttime journey of Fone Bone, Thorn and Gran'ma Ben and their terrifying encounter with Kingdok, the hideous leader of the rat creatures, to the ridiculous manipulation of the villagers and Phoney Bone's sunrise ceremony to sacrifice the Great Red Dragon!

In their most popular adventure since "The Great Cow Race", Fone Bone and Smiley strike out into the wilderness to return a lost rat creature cub to the mountains. They meet new allies - a scrappy young band of animal orphans (their parents were eaten by the stupid rat creatures) and a mysterious new foe: the formidable Rock Jaw, a giant mountain lion who fancies himself the master of the eastern border. Together they uncover the riddles of nature and before it is over, two great titans of the realm meet in an earth-shattering clash that will determine the fate of the land.

As war spreads through the Valley and the rat creatures mount a vicious offense, Gran'ma, Lucius, Phoney Bone and the villagers join the Veni Yan warriors and set up base camp at Old Man's Cave to make a final stand against the Rat Creature army. Will Fone Bone be able to hold the alliance together? Will the rat creatures finally take over the valley and unleash the power of the Lord of the Locusts? Find out and discover much much more in this pivotal book.

IDW Publishing presents The Great Cow Race, one of Smith's most well regarded tales, in the award-winning Artist's Edition format.

Brought to you by the same team responsible for the Eisner Award-winning Walter Simonson's The Mighty Thor: Artist's Edition and David Mazzucchelli's Daredevil Born Again: Artist's Edition. AN ARTIST'S EDITION PRESENTS COMPLETE STORIES WITH EACH PAGE SCANNED FROM THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL ART. While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art-for instance, corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs, all the little nuances that make original art unique. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board. Jeff Smith's Bone was launched through Cartoon Books in 1991. Winning 10 Eisner Awards (while being nominated for another 11), Bone is one of the most successful and critically acclaimed independent comic book series' of all time.

Trapped in a dungeon while the fate of the Valley is decided by two raging armies, Thorn is haunted by the dangerous and mysterious object of power known as the Crown of Horns. Guarded by dragons, the Crown of Horns is the only thing that can stop the Locust and end the war... but how, and at what price? Fone Bone believes he knows the answer, and he must decide where his heart truly lies...
