Summary: Bone Volume 1: Out From Boneville is the first book of a series of nine books. In this first book we are introduced to the main characters in the story, Fone Bone, Phoncible P. 'Phoney' Bone, and Smiley Bone. After they were chased out of their hometown of Boneville, they end up in a mysterious Valley where they are separated by a sea of locusts. They will later find each other but not before meeting some new friends and encountering a few interesting creatures. Charming, witty, and satirical. The art and the text is simple but the combination is sophisticated. The end of this first volume is rather abrupt and the episodic nature of the original format is glaringly apparent. 0.011 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
