Whether you’re a longtime comic book reader or just exploring works that fall outside of the Big Two of Marvel and DC, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Bone, a highly-successful, award-winning 55-issue epic from the mind of Jeff Smith. During a quest from one of our contributors to devour every piece of Bone media, we obtained a copy of The Cartoonist (full title The Cartoonist: Jeff Smith, Bone and the Changing Face of Comics), a 2009 documentary about Jeff Smith’s career and the creation and surprise success of Bone. With the success of Smith’s first Kickstarter, for two TUKI graphic novels, we finally watched the documentary, which proved insightful even for those who hadn’t read any of his works before.
