Jeff Smith: Bone and Beyond Exhibition

Sat, May 10 - Sun, Aug 3, 2008 Wexner Center Galleries

Stop by the Wexner Center at 12:30 p.m. today (5/14) for a free gallery talk led by the curators of the exhibition Jeff Smith: Bone and Beyond. Dave Filipi and Lucy Shelton Caswell will discuss the works of Smith, a nationally best-selling Columbus-based graphic novelist, as well as original comic strips by some of his influences, from Charles Schulz to Garry Trudeau.

Based in Columbus, Jeff Smith is one of the country's most acclaimed and influential comic book artist/writers, best known for the epic graphic novel Bone.

In 2005, Time magazine called Bone, which Smith wrote and drew, one of the 10 greatest graphic novels of all time. This exhibition—a partnership between the Wexner Center and Ohio State University's Cartoon Research Library—encompasses approximately 80 original drawings: primarily original black-and-white pages from Bone, with a smaller selection of full-color Bone covers and post-Bone work, including original drawings from Smith's recent Shazam series for DC Comics and from Rasl, his current project about a time-traveling thief.
