The story follows the Bone cousins — the intrepid Fone Bone, the scheming Phoney Bone, and the affable Smiley Bone — on their adventures through a vast, uncharted desert that gives way to a mysterious valley filled with wonderful and terrifying creatures
The saga, which was included in Time Magazine’s “10 best graphic novels of all-time,” was originally published from 1991 to 2004 in a traditional comic book format. In 2005, the fantasy epic became the vanguard of a new front in young-reader publishing when Scholastic selected Smith’s opus as the launch title for Graphix Books, a graphic novel imprint that paved the way for an entirely new and competitive sector in the marketplace.
Over the next five years, Scholastic recolored and reprinted Smith’s magnum opus as nine graphic novels that sold 8 million copies in North America alone and brought the Bone Cousins’s escapades to young readers in 30 countries. The series piled up more than 40 national and international publishing awards, among them the Eisner Award, the Harvey Award, and The French Alph Art.

netflix if you need someone for this, I would love to work on this. Recent screenwriting Mfa, multiple internships, and a willingness to learn how to cook quiche. Bone is by far one of my favorite comics ever.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! XD
bone was my SHIT when I was younger, never did it occur to me this would ever be a possibility? Holy fuck
Thank goodness. There is a god.

Crititandquitit DUDEEEEEE
Oh thank you God I was wondering if this will finally get another shot at getting a show.
Truth be told the most I know about Bone, I've gathered from looking at the covers. It looks intriguing though, a bunch of white cartoony blob characters contrasting against a detailed more realistic world.
My feels right now.
MarkoRaassina oohhHHHMYYYYGOOOO-
