Dear Backer,
Our friends Billy and Deborah Tucci have just launched their latest Kickstarter, the Shi: Senryaku Omnibus! The Eisner-award nominated Shi: Senryaku features the Art of War’s Thirty-Six Stratagems gloriously interpreted by legendary comic artists detailing the life lessons of a young Ana Ishikawa (aka, Shi) as taught to her by her grandfather.
As you may be aware Jeff contributed to it (see below), alongside many comic book greats like Frank Frazetta, Jim Lee, Adam Hughes, Stan Sakai and George Perez. The 240-page HC will also feature both Jeff’s original b/w illustration and the final color. Here’s the link and we hope you’ll give it a look:http://kck.st/3MTXt89

Library Thing – a community of almost 3 million book lovers – delivered this fantastic quote from reader Birdo82: “There’s not much that can top Jeff Smith’s classic Bone, but this sci-fi thriller with its touches of intrigue, noir, and trivia may just accomplish such a feat. 5 stars”. YAY! Thank you!

Did you know Old Man’s Cave is a real place? Much of the BONE story was inspired by this magical place, located in the Hocking Valley in Southern Ohio!#comics #books #graphicnovels #bonecomics #jeffsmith #cartoonbooks #TUKI #RASL

Coming in at #16, Jeff commented “I’m starting to think such outrageous accusations (really, racism?) say more about the people who make them than about the books themselves.”
