A fan asked Oda whether T-Bone was a zombie like the ones in Thriller Bark or a boney man like Brook. Oda jokingly explained that T-Bone would be a General Zombie through the process of deductive reasoning. His explanation was that since T-Bone is neither a Wild Zombie nor a Surprise Zombie, and that Soldier Zombies are those that are without weapons, then T-Bone would be a General Zombie.[1]
Marvin's follow-up to The Mandolin Man, Bone, is a complete turnaround to the laidback moodiness of its predecessor. Although still lyrically thoughtful, and containing the occassional mandolin and accordion, Bone is a fairly straightforward rock & roll record. Strong material and a rough-edged live sound, along with quirky little pieces like "You Gotta Eat" (credited to Etzioni's four-year-old son) keep the record from being anything but ordinary. ~ Brett Hartenbach, All Music Guide

Throw in a little Vess, a little Frank Miller -- his variant cover to Bone #38 -- and a lot of Cary Grazzini, and you have one breathtaking book. Grazzini got his start in comics as a teenager working in the Dark Horse warehouse, then studied graphic design in community college. His artistic vision is largely intuitive, in other words. This blog doesn't have the breadth or depth to capture what Smith, Grazzini and Schutz have achieved in The Art of Bone. Thank goodness your neighborhood comic shop or bookstore does.
T-Bone T-Bone has a hideous, skull-like face, but he is a very honorable and considerate person, and absolutely abhors needless violence. His main fault is his tendency to take life very seriously- although he values the soldiers under his command, he has a tendency to fuss over their minor problems in a melodramatic manner, which can make them uncomfortable. His attacks compose of creating a blue line of energy which acts as a blade. This is poweful enough to cut through trains, boats, and sea kings.
Bone Holiday Special The first printing of the first issue of Bone came out in the summer of 1991, published by Cartoon Books, Jeff's own company run by Vijaya Iyer. They printed a number of issues, and did a number of reprints as well.Right around issue #20, Bone got picked up by Image comics. Image continued the story from there until around issue #27, and reprinted the first twenty issues to boot. After that, Bone went back to Cartoon Books, which reprinted issues #20 through #27 under the Cartoon Books label (oy!) and continued onto the latest issue. Whew -- got that? The important thing is that there are a lot of copies of Bone out there, so you don't have any excuses.
