Quest for the Spark, Book 1 ships

Filed under: Bone,News — Jeff @ 9:51 am

This week the illustrated new Bone novel hit store shelves. Written by Tom Sniegoski (BONE: Tall Tales) and illustrated by yours truly, Quest 1 is the first of a three book epic introducing three new Bones: Professor Percival Bone, and his nephew & niece Barclay and Abigail. They meet up with a rag-tag group of misfits who have to work together to find the missing pieces of the LOST SPARK!  You can read a review of Quest for the Spark along with reviews of all four BONE companion books at School Library Journal.

Today is Tom’s birthday! He’s 187 years old! (I think)

Also, Quest for the Spark debuted at #1 in Canada! Happy Birthday, Tom!

  1. Oh, my God! I got this book, and couldn’t tare myself apart from it (except for Sunday night football, but you know how hard it is to read with a bunch of screaaming old men in your house). I wanted to know whem the sequel was due, because I couldn’t possibly wait much longer! Speaking of waiting, is there any news on the Bone movie? I’ve been searching the internet for DAYS now, and I’de like to know who’s directing. I’m looking forward to it possibly even more than to DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2!!!!!!!!!

  17. Jeff this book is AMAZING!! At first it thought it was a comic book(like BONE series) ,but its fine the way it is (as long as it has your drawings.) Your the reason i draw comics nonstop like a drooling idiot. Im always trying to learn how to draw like you and make new characters:) You also are the key reason that inspired me to become a cartoonist. P.S. do you ever read this?
