Books in Order: The Complete Guide to Jeff Smith's Novels

Jeff Smith is the American cartoonist behind Bone, a fantasy comic he wrote, illustrated, and largely self-published through his company Cartoon Books across 55 issues from 1991 to 2004. The series mixes comedy with dark fantasy, has won ten Eisner Awards and eleven Harvey Awards, and reached a new generation when Scholastic's Graphix imprint issued color editions of the nine volumes starting in 2005.

This guide runs the Bone books in publication order: nine entries from Out from Boneville (1995) through Crown of Horns (2004). Bone was originally serialized in 55 comic issues from 1991 to 2004; the nine collected volumes below are the standard reading order.
