I just had the pleasure of introducing Jeff Smith creator-author-artist of the award-winning comic
Bone. The
Toronto Comics Arts Festival is currently underway(see
schedule). Jeff gave a great presentation about his inspirations, a bit of comic book history and some of the rich symbolism of
Bone. Jeff gives a reading Sunday morning at 11:00.
Scholastic Books is publishing
Bone as 9 books over the cocming years.
Bone has been compared to the
Lord of the Rings and it's a worthy comparison. I also learned about a blog by one of the Scholastic staff, Scott:
All Ages a blog about comics for kids - check it out.
