At the age of nine, Jeff Smith dreamt up a cute, little character he
named Fone Bone. More than a decade later, Bone became an overnight
success, rocketing Smith to a level few independent cartoonists
achieve. Published world-wide and winner of countless awards, Bone
would seemingly be a career unto itself, but Jeff Smith isn't one to
rest on his laurels. DC's Shazam: Monster Society of Evil and his
newest creator-owned series RASL are proof that he is still one of
the best cartoonists in the business.
Now, Eric Nolen-Weathington explores the career of Jeff Smith, a true
Modern Master, through a career-spanning interview with the artist, a
discussion of his creative process, and mountains of rare and unseen
art, including a huge gallery of commissioned pieces, plus 8 pages of
full-color work.
