Posted by Frederik Hautain on Sep 14, 2006
Jeff Smith, creator of the indy title BONE, announces the first leg of a year long Bone World Tour to promote the release of the color BONE volumes across Europe and North America.
Smith's company Cartoon Books, which licensed the color rights in the US to Scholastic Books in 2005, has now found publishing partners in Greece, Spain, France, U.K, Norway, Italy and French Canada. There will be tour stops in all countries.
The tour begins Oct. 3 at Frankfurt Book Fair, which will feature a 40 piece BONE exhibit in the comics pavilion. Then moves to the Babel Festival in Athens, which will host a 30 piece exhibit of all original art. Smith will continue to criss-cross Europe until the first leg of the World Tour ends Feb. 23 at the New York Comic Convention in time for the release of Scholastic's newest color edition of Bone, 'Rockjaw, Master of the Eastern Border'.
