Out from Boneville

by Jeff Smith

Published 1 May 1996

One of the most highly acclaimed comic book stories of recent times launching as a stunning full colour graphic novel series.

When the three Bone cousins - Fone Bone, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone - are run out of Boneville thanks to Phoney Bone's greedy scheming, they have no idea what adventures await them.

Separated by a cloud of locusts, the cousins find themselves lost in a mysterious valley, populated by the cute (a family of possums and a leaf-shaped bug named Ted) as well as the scary (carnivorous, sharp-toothed rat-creatures desperate to eat them).

Isolated from everything he knows, Fone Bone must find his cousins again, as well as stop an evil rat creature plan and save the entire valley in his spare time. Lucky for him, he's got the beautiful Thorn on his side. Oh, and a huge, fire-breathing dragon...

Things seem well in the valley: Fone Bone is still living with Thorn and Gran'ma Ben, while his cousins Phoney and Smiley are working in the inn at Barrelhaven.

But peace never lasts for long when the Bone cousins are around. Soon Phoney Bone is up to his old con tricks again, trying to throw the bets on the annual Cow Race with a `mystery cow' - really Smiley in a cow suit.

Will Phoney be run out of the valley just like he was run out of Boneville? It may not even matter, because there are dark stirrings in the woods - ominous signs that indicate the rat creatures are ready to go to war again...
