Bone #4
In "Prologue: Stick-Eater," Jeff Smith delivers another chapter of the whimsical, offbeat adventure that defines Bone, with the story unfolding as Thorn departs Barrelhaven to confront the Red Dragon, while Fone and Smiley Bone aid a vulnerable baby Rat Creature in its escape. Phoney Bone, ever the opportunist, makes his exit with a caravan of loot, leaving the town behind in his wake. The entire issue is drawn, inked, and lettered by Jeff Smith, with coloring by Steve Hamaker, and the cover by Jeff Smith captures the tale’s quirky, adventurous spirit.
