"Shopping for something unconventional this Black Friday? In an interesting coincidence, several crowdfunding campaigns to revive / reprint well-known comic books launched within the same month, and they’re all competing for Kickstarter dollars at the same time.
If you recall earlier this year, when cartoonist and graphic novelist Jeff Smith launched a campaign to fund the first-ever print book of his college comic strip Thorn — basically an early version of Bone — he’s back at it again, this time with Bone itself. BONE Deluxe Edition Part One: The Valley reprints Out From Boneville and The Great Cow Race in a larger 12.5″ x 8.75″ format, and adds new bonus features.
But you can add even more if you’re rich. The book itself costs a $50 pledge in paperback and a $100 pledge in hardcover, but the $600 Big Merch Tier packs in four ceramic coasters, four Individual Cloisonné Pins, a die-cut Map of The Valley at 8.5” x 12”, a full-color flipbook of Fone Bone being chased by a Rat Creature (originally sold in 1994 and animated by Tom Bancroft), an Infinite Objects Animated Frame of the same scene, and a Fone Bone Evolution Print poster, all in an exclusive red box. Only 85 of these packages will be sold and 27 have gone so far."
