Throat Cancer Cirrhosis

Bone (Color) by Jeff Smith!

who follows me closely will have noticed that for some 'time in this part not only read manga. It is about two years, I also am passionate to graphic novels, comics or novels. I approached this world through my insanely popular (XD) Neil Gaiman, who even before he became famous for his novels in prose it became for his graphic novels. Needless to say that his were the first I've read and loved, but slowly I discovered other authors and other graphic novels interesting and I fell in love. Among these is certainly Bone of Jeff Smith, who, being one of my favorite series seems perfect for officially inaugurate the category of my blog dedicated to this kind of comic.

Bone tells the story of Fone Bone, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone, three strange little creatures whites fleeing from their village, Boneville, who find themselves lost in a mysterious valley inhabited by mysterious creatures, where no one has ever seen or heard to be like them and where they will be involved in events from which depend their lives, but also the future of the valley.

Phoney: "Here's your problem Fone Bone! We're off the map! Get a bigger map, "

hard to guess what the plot Bone only. Even I, in fact, when I started reading it I did not know what to expect. I was sure that was only a fantasy series. I had no doubt about this. I later learned that Bone encompasses so many genres that make it a comic book are quite extraordinary! At first it seems to watch a cartoon colorful, fun and carefree, as we continue with the reading, however, seems to re-read The Lord of the Rings, with all its intensity and drama. This is not to say however that it is equal to The Lord of the Rings, absolutely not, but simply that resembles its atmosphere. Remember the atmosphere of Tolkien without shamelessly copy the style or the story is something very difficult in the world of fantasy, Jeff Smith succeeds rather well! But apart from the epic fantasy to Tolkien, we also have the magic and innocence of the Disney fairy tales, the dark and disturbing atmosphere typical of horror, a good dose of humor, madness and many references to our reality. All ingredients that can not seem to coexist in the same work, but thanks to the genius Jeff Smith are mixed together perfectly. The Adventures of small
Bone manage to capture the attention from the first page through the mysteries that gradually appear before them, the mysteries are solved elegantly in the volume, without forcing or impossible theories, as unfortunately happens in Most fantasy sagas. The story of Bone stays true to itself instead to the end and does not fail to surprise! The same goes for the characters: there is not one which is not unique and can surprise you! It is impossible not to become attached to each of them! The Bone, for example, all three are lovely, including the stingy Phoney that resembles a cross between Scrooge and Uncle Scrooge! XD But the two Rat Creatures who wish to prepare an elegant quiche with their prey would not be outdone! XD Or Thorn and Grandma Ben Lucius ... but I could name them all and not end up more! In short, however, I am only saying that Bone deserves from all points of view and, if what has been said so far there has not even a little curious, I add that is one of the most important graphic novels of the history of comics that , and has won numerous awards and has over 20 million copies sold worldwide, why do not I will try that much to convince you to read it: it is a must-series and the facts already speak for themselves! To As for me, Bone has become necessary as the air until after reading the first volume and now that I have come to an end ... Jeff Smith St. Please give me another dose otherwise I'll die! XD

"Hey, wait a minute dragon! Listen to the dream that I did tonight! You were there! I saw a huge image of your head! You did not say anything ... limit yourself to stare ! What do you think? Can not find who has had a strange dream like this? "
" No. an intruder has entered the dreams of Thorn last night. The same happened to you. Welcome aboard, Ishmael. "

Bone was born in 1991 in black and white, just like a manga, but to celebrate its tenth anniversary was colored and today we can read it in this beautiful version from the following books published by Panini Comics:

  • Bone 1: In Escape From Boneville (10 €)
  • Bone 2: The Great Race of Cows (10 €)
  • Bone 3: Eyes of the Storm (10 €)
  • Bone 4: The Dragonslayer (13 €)
  • Bone 5: Rock Jaw (10 €)
  • Bone 6: The Cave of the Old (12 €)
  • Bone 7: Spectral Circles (14 €)
  • Bone 8: Treasure Hunters (13 €)
  • 9 Bone: Crown of Horns (18 €)

find these volumes could be a challenge both for the availability that for the cost, but do not despair! The BAO Publishing has announced that in 2011 publish ONE VOLUME EDITION or volumone a huge, huge more than 1300 pages, with all Bone! * __ * It should cost around € 29 (compared to € 110 for all volumes Sandwiches!) only flaw is that it's in black and white ! Instead ç__ç de Princess Rose , Bone prequel ever published by BAO, which instead is in full color! * __ *

Princess Rose is always Jeff Smith, but this time the drawings are of my beloved Charles Vess (for those not familiar I spoke HERE), which for illustrations This volume won the prestigious Eisner Award! The BAO has published in late October, so a few days ago, in an edition with wonderful hard cover and dust jacket. Seeing it gives me hope on a future edition of Bone (although it will be in black and white ç__ç). Finally remember that despite it being the prequel to Bone absolutely must be read after it! The same applies to Tall Tales and Bone Handbook, two volumes still unpublished in Italy, which I hope in future we are always on the proposed BAO! *___*
