One of the most highly acclaimed comic book stories of recent times launching as a stunning full colour graphic novel series.

When the three Bone cousins – Fone Bone, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone – are run out of Boneville thanks to Phoney Bone's greedy scheming, they have no idea what adventures await them.

Separated by a cloud of locusts, the cousins find themselves lost in a mysterious valley, populated by the cute (a family of possums and a leaf-shaped bug named Ted) as well as the scary (carnivorous, sharp-toothed rat-creatures desperate to eat them).

Isolated from everything he knows, Fone Bone must find his cousins again, as well as stop an evil rat creature plan and save the entire valley in his spare time. Lucky for him, he's got the beautiful Thorn on his side. Oh, and a huge, fire-breathing dragon...
