Why you should still read BONE

In this video, I want to pitch Jeff Smith’s classic BONE. While some might have only heard about the series to the recent cancellation of the Netflix adaptation or might only remember reading it as a kid, this video seeks to explore the value this series has with its lack of complete adaptations.

Mike Fatum (He/Him) as Fone Bone

Aranocks (She/They) as Thorn

Original Music by Molly Noise

Script Editing by Argus Swift
