Product Description
Jeff Smith is one of the great success stories of independent comics. In July of 1991, he launched Cartoon Books in Columbus, Ohio, to publish his black-and-white comic strip IBone/I. A tale of three marshmallowy creatures named Bone, adrift in a world of humans, monsters and fantasy creatures, IBone/I has since been translated into 15 languages and won Smith countless awards. IBone and Beyond/I is the first volume to offer an overview of Smith's work. Published in conjunction with the Wexner Center and Cartoon Research Library's 2008 exhibition, this catalogue presents work featured in the show, including examples of Smith's original drawings for IBone/I, plus the more recent IShazam/I and IRasl/I, a forthcoming time travel story. Also featured are selected works by cartoonists who have influenced Smith, such as George Herriman, Charles Schulz and Walt Kelly, and essays by comic book and fantasy author Neil Gaiman, comic book artist and scholar Scott McCloud and Wexner Center film/video curator David Filipi, the exhibition's co-curator. Cartoon Research Library curator Lucy Shelton Caswell, the exhibition's other co-curator, provides an introduction.

The extensive detail assures a lasting place in any art or graphic arts collection October 13, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Jeff Smith's BONE comics represent the success of an independent, self-published series which has enjoyed world fame and been translated into sixteen languages: BONE AND BEYOND celebrates this success with the Wexner Center, who put together an exhibition reflected in this accompanying book. Extensive conversations with the creator of Bone accompany color and black and white images from the exhibition. The extensive detail assures a lasting place in any art or graphic arts collection. br / br /Diane C. Donovan br /California Bookwatch br /
