For Immediate Release – TUKI: Fight for Family

by | Aug 4, 2022

For Immediate Release
Jeff Smith’s Dawn of Man Saga Continues With TUKI Book Two

Columbus, OH – August 3, 2022:  Just months after the release of the critically acclaimed TUKI: Fight for Fire, Jeff Smith’s TUKI Book Two: Fight for Family hits store shelves.

Set two million years ago, when multiple species of hominids existed at the same time, this hand-drawn story follows the misadventures of a small band of early humans who controlled fire in an epoch when gods and giants were real, and Fire was taboo.

What folks are saying about Jeff Smith’s TUKI:
BOOKLIST *STARRED* REVIEW:
“If Smith’s iconic BONE weren’t proof enough, TUKI resoundingly restates his status as a master cartoonist of our era…New readers will love it, and fans of BONE will delight in Smith’s return to fantasy adventure with an ensemble of idiosyncratic characters.”

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Fans of classic adventure will not be disappointed… Smith (BONE) goes prehistoric in this fabulously drawn anthropological fantasy.… the characters and scenery remain consistently stunning to gaze at, page after page.” 

BIG BANG COMICS
“A Masterclass in storytelling!”

About TUKI: Like Smith’s graphic novels BONE and RASL before it, TUKI is a mix of the author’s personal passions, including lost realms, pulp fiction and human evolution. Fight for Family is the second in a planned series of six graphic novels.

About Jeff Smith: Jeff Smith is the writer & artist of comics and graphic novels like BONE, RASL, SHAZAM: The Monster Society of Evil, ROSE and Tall Tales. Both BONE and RASL were self-published and are New York Times Bestsellers. BONE launched the current YA Graphic Novel explosion and has won 41 national and international awards including 10 Eisner Awards and 11 Harvey Awards and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. RASL won an Eisner for Best Graphic Novel. The short lived webcomic version of TUKI won the National Cartoonists Award for Best Online Comic in 2014.

TUKI Fight for Family – 5/5 Stars!

by | Jul 11, 2022

Thank you to Jake from Goodreads for posting this nice review of the second volume of TUKI (Fight for Family):

“Just as good as the last volume by changing direction to focus on the development of the supporting cast. They’re all misfits brought together by a need for contact. The three Ran orphans could really use somebody to support them after the ape-like Habiline killed off their tribe. As for the old Habiline, it’s understandable that he’s looking for purpose now that the old magic forces are being replaced by a new one. Something tells me Tuki’s initial direction to leave Africa is going to play a big part in the next chapter of this saga, and this Habiline wants to be a part of it. I really wonder what’s going through Kwarel’s head since he was kicked out of his tribe and still wants contact with others.

Not to mention I love Jeff’s artwork. Not only for scenic atmosphere but for putting actions and anticipation in the art. I could feel the suspense in some scenes taking place without the presence of something ready to pounce. Some comics could really learn from this series.”
