The image above is the cover for a 6 page preview comic I'm working on for the San Diego Comic-Con International. It's also going to be the cover of RASL no.1 when the series starts coming out from Cartoon Books in 2008.

I am very excited by this. The cover’s intriguing, but we need more details! If it’s even half as good as your other work, it will be three times better than most other comics on the market.

Wowee zowee! Keep the details trickling out, man. Make the people beg!

ANYTHING by you thrills me, Jeff… so I’ll be waiting anxiously for this gem.

Arghh! The anticipation! Like everyone else I can’t wait to know what it’s about, would kill to get my hands on the preview…

It looks like a Stray Bullets cover. I like.

Woah! Not what I was expecting! I can’t wait to see that preview comic! Is this something that you’ll be selling? ‘Cause I’d love to have one…….

The cover looks amazing and I can’t wait to check the interiors. Congratulations on such an intriguing cover image.

This is intriguing Jeff ! I Like the color too ! Black and white or color comic ?

This really looks cool. By the cover, I think this’ll be quite different.

Comment by Marcus — June 29, 2007 @ 3:43 pm

Ahhhhh buddy. Great cover.

Comment by Tom Williams — June 29, 2007 @ 5:36 pm

WOW! This has made me super excited, I can’t wait. Anything by Jeff Smith is a cause for excitement. WOW!

Any chance this preview will be available by other means, as there’s no chance I will be going to San Diego this year?

Very nice…I’d concur with the Dane about the Stray Bullets feel.

I’m really looking forward to this new title. I’m hoping those of us who can’t make it to SD get to see those same preview pages later on…

Thanks for the cover preview!

Ahhh..I was looking forward to this all day…Jeff you continue to amaze us. We’re all intrigued. Can’t make it to SD…hope to see the preview online on the site afterwards..is it all ages or more of an adult oriented book?

Comment by Jason — June 29, 2007 @ 11:05 pm

I am PUMPED for 2008 now. I can’t wait to see the preview comic!!

Comment by Alex Kazanas — June 30, 2007 @ 11:06 am

RASL looks fanastic! I’m really looking forwad to it. I could be wrong, but I’m guessing that RASL is not a word but the initials of something. If so, please tell us what.

Comment by Tom Blevins — July 1, 2007 @ 8:50 pm

awesome.

Comment by mike — July 2, 2007 @ 8:11 am

It looks dark. What is the plot?

Comment by Jonny — July 2, 2007 @ 1:34 pm

For those of us not making the Con this year, will we be able to order copies of the preview comic off of Boneville?

Comment by Jeremy Holstein — July 2, 2007 @ 5:47 pm

Reminds somewhat of Lorenzp Mattotti’s work. Nice.

Comment by Noel — July 3, 2007 @ 1:34 pm

Jeff, your comics are instant classics, you are at least a million years ahead of most comic makers at this time. You are truly a storyteller. Keep up the good work.

Comment by Jmeeks — July 5, 2007 @ 10:53 am

Ooh! What’s it about? I must know!

Comment by Kiel West — July 6, 2007 @ 6:06 pm

Hey, it’s RASL! *giggle* Now I REALLY feel privileged, what with seeing all of these curious people…but my lips are sealed! Thanks for sharing, Jeff! I swear I shan’t breathe a word…until after the San-Diego Con.

Comment by Cara — July 8, 2007 @ 3:41 pm

The cover suggests something that is directed towards an older audience than your past work is. Am I correct in thinking this?

Comment by Marvelman — July 9, 2007 @ 10:11 pm

jeff smith say in a interview in belgium that rasl a primal version of bone is!

Comment by kiekeboe — July 10, 2007 @ 7:46 am

huh. This does look darker. The cover is what makes me wonder, it looks really different.

Comment by Marcus — July 12, 2007 @ 11:44 pm

Preview of RASL available online here: http://www.newsarama.com/Comic-Con_07/misc/Rasl/Rasl_Smith.html

Jeff, Is it possible for me to get my hands on a copy of the preview over here in Singapore?

Comment by Myron Tay — July 26, 2007 @ 10:31 pm

You should have one of rasls adventures going to athei at the time when granma ben is fighting the rats in the big war and he goes to steal a painting but the rat creatures are attacking!

that would be awsome!
