Broken Frontier

At last! For the past five years, the single most requested item at Cartoon Books has been a single volume of BONE in color.  Now, to celebrate two decades since the publication of  BONE #1, Cartoon Books is pleased to announce a full color One Volume Edition of BONE in a collector's box and a deluxe slipcase version!

Jeff Smith, the cartoonist of BONE and co-owner of publisher Cartoon Books said, "This has been one of the most complicated, difficult and exciting projects I've ever worked on.  And one of the things I most want for myself!"

The deluxe hardcover books will be available in two versions:
The BONE: 20th Anniversary Full Color One Volume Collector's Box Set, limited to 2000 copies, which is scheduled to debut this July at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
The second version, shipping in November 2011, is the deluxe BONE: 20th Anniversary Color One Volume Slipcase.

Both versions contain extras, including a new essay called Twenty Years with BONE by cartoonist Jeff Smith, and the Box Set  comes packaged with a 22k commemorative coin, pewter figures of the BONE cousins, a copy of the award winning documentary The Cartoonist: Jeff Smith, BONE, and the Changing Face of Comics, and more.
There will also be a very limited edition of the Box Set that contains original art by Jeff Smith and hand water colored Steve Hamaker! These are big collector books, and through American Forests.org we'll plant a tree for every one we sell!
