When most Americans think of “comic books” and “graphic novels,” they think of one of the two “major” publishers - Marvel and DC. But outside of manga (becoming by far the largest visual art segment in the US), Scholastic is the largest publisher of graphic novels - and it’s not even close.

And this revolution is in large part due to one man - Jeff Smith, and his determination to bring out his fantasy opus, Bone, on his own terms.
