About this item
The ancient world was filled with restless spirits and powerful forces. 2 million years ago, human evolution made its move. It chose Fire. At the dawn of humanity, during a period of tremendous change and drought, three lost children meet a mysterious traveler named Tuki. Together, their search for the Motherherd of all Buffalo leads them far north through the dangerous territory of a rival species called the Habiline. The Habiline hunt and kill anyone found using fire. Tuki's reputation precedes them and soon they find themselves at the center of unwanted attention not only from Habiline warriors, but of tribal spirits and giants! -- Jeff Smith

In the Spring of 2005, Harry Potter's U.S. publisher entered the graphic novel market by launching a new imprint, Graphix with a full color version of BONE: Out from Boneville, bringing the underground comic to a new audience and a new generation. In 2007, released Smith's first non-creator owned work, , a four-part mini-series recreating a classic serial from comic's Golden Age. Between projects, Smith spends much of his time on the international guest circuit promoting comics and the art of graphic novels.
