Beautifully designed by returning guest and Cupid's Arrows, Warning Label, Time and Vine, and Love and Capes creator Thom Zahler, the book comes in a standard and, for VIP ticketholders, a limited VIP cover edition.

Bone features the Bone brothers, Fone, Phoney, and Smiley and their adventures in The Valley. The cast of characters expands to include Fone's love interest Thorn and her grandmother, Gran'ma Ben, the Rat Creatures, Lucius, Miss Possum and the Possum Kids, and many more they encounter along the way. Bone has been printed in Jeff Smith's own Cartoon Books, Image Comics, and Scholastic/Graphix, and incude novels and children's books beyond the comics and graphic novels.

"I’m excited to return to the Baltimore Comic-Con during their 26th anniversary and honored to have Bone be this years theme for the Souvenir Yearbook!" said Jeff Smith, creator of Bone. "I’ve seen a few of the previous editions - which were fantastic - and am anxious to see what everyone comes up with! What a thrill!"

The Baltimore Comic-Con scavenger hunt, which has become a must-do activity for many of our fans, will be back in 2025! When you buy the book, you'll get a list of Yearbook contributors and their table numbers. Participants succeeding in acquiring the appropriate quota of autographs from contributors can then get their choice of bonus prints -- and it's a great way to meet our guests!

"Bone is one of the seminal properties for comics readers,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. "So many kids get their start reading comics and graphic novels through Bone, either from Scholastic Book Fairs or kids sections in book stores or even from their comics-reading parents putting them on the path. Bone is such a unique and beloved world of characters and Jeff Smith has done an amazing job of expanding the storyline and lore to keep readers coming back. Our artist guests were delighted to hear they would get a chance to dip their toe into Jeff's universe and you're definitely going to want to grab your copy this year!"
