There is nothing good about fans paying $100 plus to eBay sharks instead of giving it to the Cartoon Research Library. As it is the book was way underpriced. If it were $50 or 60, it would limit the purchase of multiple copies, increase fan access and give more money to the Library. I bet there are guys with 5 to 10 copies in their closets. Shame indeed.

Still, I suppose it will make it easier for some people to get a hold of them who couldn't send in a money order to the Cartoon Research Library. On eBay, some are priced at around $200 for Buy-It-Now, while others are taking on bidders fast, ranging currently from around $30 up to $100.

Unfortunately it was already too late. Now there are several listings on Ebay selling for hundreds of dollars. Herge, the creator of Tintin, had the same problem. For more than 30 years he resisted re-releasing his early work because he felt it didn’t fit with the rest of the collection. He finally decided to publish a collection of 4 books that he named “Herge Archives”. Jeff should have his “Jeff Smith Archives” too. I am sure everybody who admires his work would like to see how it all started. There is no escape, it is part of history now. I tried to buy a copy of “Before Bone” for myself and one for a friend.

Great work all around. And I'll add my voice as yet another that hopes the entire Thorn strip run will be reprinted into an easier to find collection (hardcover?)
