It’s not the history that makes comics inaccessible; it’s the refusal to explain it within the story so that it reads better when collected in a series of books.

Jeff Smith's BONE series is the "gateway comic." Click the link to learn why.

"BONE is, to put it in a nutshell, a lot like Ducktales meets The Lord of the Rings. Oh, yes, you can trace other works of fiction from it, but essentially it is a combination of the funny animal and fantasy genres. It starts off with the former and builds up to the latter, but it never forgets its roots."
