Bone Out From Boneville is the first volume of the Bone series comics. There are countless ones at this point but they were a huge hit when they were released, especially for the young generations. The story is cute and follows three cousins as they try to reunite with each other and wander through the wilderness.
The creator Jeff Smith has a unique style to his artwork that definitely falls in line with other classic comics but also adds a bit of a cartoon feel as well. Bone could probably have worked great as a saturday morning cartoon as well as it did as a comic series.
The characters in the comic, especially the bone cousins are pretty cute and likeable from the beginning to the end. This comic is made for a younger audience so you arent going to get the complexity that you might get in a more mature graphic novel, but its a nice easy and brief read.
Like a few other of the comics and graphic novels I have mentioned, if you are looking to get someone you know that is younger into reading, especially around the middle school age, this would be a perfect series to do so. Not to mention it also creates nostalgia and keeps the hobby alive in general for another generation.
If you are an adult and looking for something that will blow your mind, this series probably isnt for you, but I generally read graphic novels and comics for the art so to me it is a nice piece to have in my collection. Sometimes I dont want to read something that is super stimulating and this is a perfect piece for those times.

The series actually takes some pretty serious turns as it evolves into more of an epic fantasy in future volumes, but I still enjoy the whimsical earlier stuff best. While it’s great for all ages I do think it holds up well to adult reading. I can still laugh out loud at some of Jeff Smith’s comedy in Bone.
Maybe I should check out some more of the story then, maybe it will hook me more. The art alone is worth the read for me.
I’ve never read the colorized versions, just the original black & white. I have a nice (& massive) one volume edition that has the complete story (50 issues) in one book. I don’t know if it’s available in color as well, but it’s a great & economical way to dive all the way in!
I work in a bookstore, children absolutely love it! From the moment they can read basically.
Thats really awesome glad to hear that the next generation of readers are picking it up!
