BONE iPhone comic Apple’s “Pick of the Week”

Filed under: Bone,Comics!,News — Steve @ 5:04 pm

 BONE is now available on your iPhone in full color!

UClick, the company that offers downloadable comics for your phone has chosen issue #1 of BONE (in color) to be their first comic for the iPhone- – and Apple made it their Pick of the Week. You can see it on Apple’s Hot News Site!


Here’s the announcement from Apple:

Apple Store Pick of the Week: Out of Boneville
October 22, 2008

Add graphic novels to the list of amazing things you can enjoy on iPhone and iPod touch. In this case, Out of Boneville, the first volume of Jeff Smith’s multiple-award winning Bone series. Out of Boneville (.99) looks great on iPhone, letting you move back and forth with a simple swipe. And if you do have to pull yourself away from the story, iPhone takes you right back to where you were before you left.

Here’s a link to UCLICK:

  8. I got mine! Finally, a version of “out of Boneville” that won’t be lost when a friend “borrows” it. I plan on introducing young people that I meet on long flights to Bone this way. Very well done. Was Vijaya behind this idea?

Actually I was just re-reading that on my iPhone, ‘cos you can now download it from the iTunes store, which is quite a novel way to – er, yeah, I mean, Bone is an absolutely charming thing, and again it’s so well done in technical terms that it’s a seamless and very entertaining read, definitely.”
