Jeff Smith, creator of the Bone graphic novel series, will be at Bookworks 6:00-8:00 pm Tuesday, April 25, to celebrate his new series, Tuki!  Set two million years ago, when multiple species of hominids existed at the same time, this hand-drawn story follows the misadventures of a small band of early humans who controlled fire in an epoch when gods and giants were real, and Fire was taboo.

Jeff Smith is the writer & artist of comics and graphic novels like Bone, Rasl, Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil, Rose and Tall Tales.  Both Bone and Rasl were self-published and are New York Times Bestsellers.  Bone launched the current YA Graphic Novel explosion via Scholastic Books’ Graphix imprint and has won 41 national and international awards – including 10 Eisner Awards and 11 Harvey Awards and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages.  Rasl won an Eisner for Best Graphic Novel.  The webcomic version of Tuki won the National Cartoonists Award for Best Online Comic in 2014.

Attendees are welcome to bring up to two books by Jeff that they already own to the signing.
