New "Bone" Titles on the Way!

As reported about an hour ago through an official press release, writer/artist Jeff Smith will be creating new Bone titles through Scholastic. Here's the breakdown of the tentative publishing schedule:

• Bone: Tall Tales -- Summer 2010
• Bone: Quest for the Spark, Book One -- Fall 2010
• Bone: Quest for the Spark, Book Two -- Spring 2011
• Bone: Quest for the Spark, Book Three -- Summer 2011

The Quest for the Spark trilogy will be written by Tom Sniegoski and drawn by Smith.

This is fantastic news for my students, who devoured the Bone series after I used the first volume in my seventh grade Language Arts class to introduce sequential art.

In related news, Smith recently unveiled some cool new Bone t-shirt designs. Check 'em out below and at his website's store.
