Bone Libro Primo
L’epica saga dei cugini Fone, Phoney e Smiley Bone realizzata da Jeff Smith tra il 1991 e il 2004 è finalmente disponibile in edizione digitale. Con una nuova traduzione e arricchita dalle note di Neil Gaiman, una delle dieci opere a fumetti più importanti di tutti i tempi (Time Magazine), vincitrice di dieci premi Eisner e undici premi Harvey, racconta l’epopea di tre personaggi buffi e comici, i cugini Bone che, smarrita la via di casa, si ritrovano in una vallata sull’orlo di una guerra per l’esistenza stessa del mondo e della dimensione onirica della realtà. Disegnato in maniera allo stesso tempo semplice e dettagliatissima, Bone è un romanzo di ampio respiro, con personaggi memorabili, umorismo e pathos perfettamente bilanciati e un crescendo mozzafiato verso uno dei più bei finali della letteratura americana di tutti i tempi.

Born and raised in the American mid-west, Jeff Smith learned about cartooning from comic strips, comic books, and watching animation on TV. In 1991, he launched a company called Cartoon Books to publish his comic book BONE, a comedy/adventure about three lost cousins from Boneville. Against all odds, the small company flourished, building a reputation for quality stories and artwork. Word of mouth, critical acclaim, and a string of major awards helped propel Cartoon Books and BONE to the forefront of the comic book industry.
In 1992, Jeff’s wife Vijaya Iyer joined the company as partner to handle publishing and distribution, licensing, and foreign language publications. In the Spring of 2005, Harry Potter’s U.S. publisher Scholastic Inc. entered the graphic novel market by launching a new imprint, Graphix with a full color version of BONE: Out from Boneville, bringing the underground comic to a new audience and a new generation.
In 2007, DC Comics released Smith’s first non-creator owned work, SHAZAM! Monster Society of Evil, a four-part mini-series recreating a classic serial from comic’s Golden Age. Between projects, Smith spends much of his time on the international guest circuit promoting comics and the art of graphic novels.

Il modo in cui sono disegnati i tre cugini protagonisti della serie, mi ricorda un po' i classici Disney. Anche il mondo fantastico in cui sono ambientate le vicende dei tre cugini Bone ha qualcosa di fiabesco. Sono curioso di vedere come i tre simpatici protagonisti, che sono sono i tipici stereotipi del tontolone romantico e sfortunato (Fone), lo stupidino che agisce sempre senza pensarci su troppo (Smiley) e l'astuto ma non troppo furbo (Phoney) evolveranno durante questa saga.
