Super Bones
Finally, after 23 years, I have permitted my masterpiece, Super Bones, to enter the digital realm to inflict it upon all of comic-dom.
Behold it in all it's decades old stains and wrinkles!
The dynamic use use of color...
The razor-sharp wit and Hitchcockian build of suspense.
The imaginative use of page layouts.
The mastery of anatomical design and Michael Bay-esque action sequence.
You can almost hear the John Williams score as everything comes to it's exciting conclusion.
Coming Soon... Issue #2 !
I can't believe you have issue 1! That's a collector's item!
What's the white out covering on the cover?
Kudos on coining the word "fap" on page 5.
How many issues did this run?
Does that say "hate" on page 5? hahaha
I've got to show this to Giancarlo. He and his pal Jesse have an ongoing comic series about murderous bunnies that they take very seriously.
I had put something like "super Bones created by nathaniel parker" there and ended up whiting it out because it felt a little too egomaniacal to have it on the cover also.
And I almost forgot the last page for issue 1, wherein I was also ahead of my time by having like DVD extras in books with this awesome work:
haha! Yeah. I pretty much stole that bit directly from National Gorilla Suit Day.
and I did like an entire years worth of covers and had stories for each of them but i think I only did like 8 entire issues before I got tired of it.
Hallucinating what?
Gas.
The scanner cut off the bottom.
also, is it bad that after all these years, looking at this, it ticks me off that I put "Zing!" in that fight bubble twice? Ughhh!
I could probably live with it if they were at least further apart, but they're right there next to each other! What was I thinking!!
Maybe a bone popped off and ricocheted twice?
This page is legendary in the fact that it's the only time I can think of where i purposefully went back and censored myself. The original line was "But not as Alfred Bonapart, beerdrinker..."
passing it around at school, i didn't want to raise anyone's ire by having it look like I was endorsing drinking.
I grabbed 4 instead of 3 when i scanned these, so I hope all the continuity doesn't get messed up in the storyline. Also, i drew this one in blue ink apparently, and i did NOT agree with being scanned. You can barely read it.
I'll try re-doing it tomorrow to where it's at least partially legible.
Dialogue:
Here sir, cover yourself up with your towel.
OUT!
----------
Must stop doing that all the time.
A Ha!
It's just a guess but maybe this is it!
Dialogue:
I'm worried Frank. What if that Super Bones starts looking for us? You know we got a $10.00 reward on us
No way! It would take a real moron to look for us here.
---------
HI GUYS!
Dialogue:
I know Lets shoot him with our Super Duper Xtra Special Ray Gun!
Ya! Hey, there he is now!
---------
SHAZAP!
HA! Well that's the last of Super Bones
Artist's note: Notice the use of X as a way to start a word years before the Xtreme 90's!
Dialogue:
HAH! I tricked you with my Acme Super Duper Xtra Special Tricko Life Size Inflatable Dummee
---------
Come on, boys
Take em away officer
Dialogue:
Well Super Bones, you've done it again. Gotten yourself hopelessly messed up and somehow managing to catch the crooks.
Thanks! But aren't you forgetting something?
---------
Oh yes. There's your ten dollars and something extra from the boys downtown for helping us and risking your life and all.
WOW! $10.25 Thanks!
Back cover. It's ART !!!
this thread makes me smile
I want, nay, demand a crossover with Sonichu ASAP
Yes.
He's my new hero.
"What cha readin' fer??"
Thats great. Your own comic series. Smart. how old were you when you did this?
around 13!
Are.... YOU..... actually Super Bones, Nate?
Because I always imagined you'd drive a Bone Mobile.... and well, you DO have super hero qualities.
But I don't wanna' out you or anything.
Well, you were an imaginative 13 year old. I guess most 13 year olds are imaginative to an extent, but this is awesome.
Well Super Bones, you've done it again. Gotten yourself hopelessly messed up and somehow managing to catch the crooks.
Thanks! But aren't you forgetting something?

haha I love that dialogue for a 13 year old - you've always been a sarcastic git then.
"What cha readin' fer??"
You guys do know that this all is just going to make me post more, right?
Post more!
"What cha readin' fer??"
yeah post more. i wish i had some of my old drawings.
I'll try to scan the rest of these tomorrow and even put up the covers to the ones I never finished.
I advise that you stop taking shits on your comic books. It highly affects the resail value.
Awesome ... 13, huh? Makes sense, though, because you don't bother to put boring shit into anything when you're 13.
I likey. All smiles. To the bone mobile ... I think he needs a sidekick!
Get the sugar. Get the sugar. Get the sugar.
oh man. I need to scan the rest of these. At least, the covers!
You will at first notice the tightly-written fast paced plot.
