IDW and Cartoon Books Sign Deal For Digital Comics
IDW Publishing once again breaks ground in the new world of digital comics, announcing a partnership with Cartoon Books to bring Jeff Smith's Bone and RASL to Sony's hot new PSP Digital Comics.
Jeff Smith fans can now follow the adventures of the three Bone cousins on their PSP, starting with the very first issue. In July 1991 and inspired by the work of Carl Barks and Walt Kelly, Jeff Smith started publishing the adventures of three cartoon cousins, Fone, Phoney and Smiley. In 2004, the Bone cousins finally found their destiny, concluding an incredible 1300-page single story. Word of mouth, critical acclaim, and a string of major awards have propelled Bone to the forefront of the comic book industry, including Time Magazine's Top Ten Graphic Novels of All Time.
Also newly available on the PSP, Jeff Smith's new adventure series, RASL, is a stark sci-fi series about a dimension-jumping art thief - a man unplugged from the world who races through space and time searching for his next big score and trying to escape his past. RASL is distinctly for mature audiences, showing the breadth of Smith's creativity.
"We're very excited to bring Jeff's work to the PSP and kick off our partnership with Cartoon Books," said Jeff Webber, Director of ePublishing at IDW. "Bone is the perfect all-ages classic to bring to PSP audience worldwide. RASL is for more mature audiences and brings out a whole new side of Jeff's creativity. The PSP's wonderful comic reader is an excellent way to introduce new readers to these epic stories."
Originally released in black and white, PSP customers can enjoy the full-colored version of Bone, first introduced in 2004.
