Hello everyone! Today marks the launch of Cartoon Book’s Latest Kickstarter!
Last year, Cartoon Books released their First Kickstarter in the Deluxe Series “Thorn: The Proto-Bone College Strips 1982-1986” which did amazingly well raising $328,134 with 3,387 backers to boot!
After the success of the Thorn Kickstarter, Cartoon Books has gone all in to completely rerelease BONE in 4 Beautiful Volumes that will not only contain the original Black & White comics as they were originally published and reprinted to be LARGER for the very first time, but will contain several BONUS FEATURES such as photos, early scripts, drawings, articles, and reviews, revealing the story behind the making of BONE and Cartoon Books!
This is Volume of BONE Deluxe Edition will comprise of the First 2 Volumes of the BONE Graphic Novels as well as those neat exclusive Behind the Scenes stuff mentioned previously! The First 2 Volumes included in this Deluxe Edition of BONE are “Out From Boneville” and “The Great Cow Race!”
There are also a SLEW of tiers for you all to choose from such as: •$20 PDF Digital Edition of BONE Deluxe Edition Part One in FULL COLOR (Pic 2) •$50 Paperback Physical Edition of BONE Deluxe Edition Part One (Pic 3) •$100 Hardcover Physical Edition of BONE Deluxe Edition Part One (Pic 4) •$600 Big Merch Tier for BONE Deluxe Edition Part One (Limited to 85) (Pic 5) •$5,500 Original Inked Art of Smiley in Cow Costume for BONE Deluxe Edition Part One (Limited to 10) (Pic 6)

Now that the Tiers are out of the way, no Kickstarter is complete without Stretch Goals! This Kickstarter’s Stretch Goals, instead of being dependent on money, is based on Number of Backers!
So without further ado, here are the goals: •Goal 1 for 300 Backers-Satin Ribbon Bookmark in both the Exclusive Hardcover AND the Mass Market Trade Paperback (REACHED!) (Pic 10) •Goal 2 for 500 Backers-Digital Wallpapers (Pic 11) •Goal 3 for 1,000 Backers-Die-Cut Bookmark of Thorn's Map (Pic 12) •Goal 4 for 1,500 Backers-Temporary Tattoo (Pic 13) •Goal 5 for 2,000 Backers-Fone Bone and Rat Creature Print (Pic 14)
There’s also a bunch of add ons but this post is getting pretty long!
Since this is the first of the BONE Deluxe Edition Volumes, the others will comprise of: •BONE Deluxe Edition Part Two: Phoney Strikes Back! (Eyes of the Storm & The Dragon Slayer) (Pic 15) •BONE Deluxe Edition Part Three: Friends and Enemies.

Cartoon Books also plans on doing a Deluxe Edition on Rose and Tall Tales titled “Prequels, Sequels, & Dragons” which will be Volume 5 if all goes well! They intend to not only cover BONE, but to release Deluxe Editions of RASL and TUKI. All Kickstarters for each Deluxe Edition will be covered in the coming years so keep an eye out for them! Either way, I promise to update you all when that happens!
