I've been working on this one for a bit, and it was a real treat getting to tell the story of BONE's time in Disney Adventures magazine back in the 1990s, with insight from the key players involved in Jeff Smith, Marv Wolfman (!), @comixace.bsky.social (!!), and @cliffchiang.bsky.social (!!!).

It's open to non-subscribers.
