I know, I know. A 1332 page long comic book? Yeah! In black and white? Hells yeah! With no super heroes? God, yes! From 1991 to 2004 Jeff Smith wrote and drew Bone, a sprawling, beautiful fantasy-humor-adventure comic. But it was a story line with a goal, and reaching that, it ended. Now all the issues of Bone are available in one massive book. This is the best comic book ever, imho (heh.) Let's run down the Master Comic Book Check List.
High adventure? Check.
Pretty pictures? Check.
Memorable characters? Check, check, check, check check...
Humor? Double-check.
Hiijinks? Oh yeah.
Epic fantasy scope? Yep.
World-threatening struggle? You betcha.
Dragons, talking bugs, and hard-punching old ladies? Check.
Cow racing and swindling galore? Check.
The best of everything ever? Check-yo-mama.
Recommend? YES. Go to a bookstore, grab a copy. Read it for an hour or so to make sure it's sweet, since it is 40 dollars, and then buy it.
