–Finally, a $150 version of the hardcover that includes the timeline and cover gallery will ship in November. It comes in a slipcase.

bone was one of the best comics that I’ve read, and one of the last ones that I picked up individual issues of.  I own a colorized TPB set, and it’s very nice, but I kinda want the hardcover version, I think it’d look real nice on my bookcase.
