BEANWORLD HC (2025)

"Beanworld is a peculiar fantasy that operates under its own rules and laws. Series creator Larry Marder says, 'Beanworld is about the affinity of life. It's like A Bug's Life meets Mutts, as told by Dr. Seuss and Joseph Campbell.' Meet Mr. Spook, Professor Garbanzo, Beanish, and the Chow Sol'jer Army as they experience adventures that prove, whether friends or adversaries, we all ultimately depend on each other for survival. Beanworld reflects deep truths about our world, including themes of ecology, advertising, culture, and art, making the experiences of these fanciful creatures feel as true, funny, moving, and relatable as anything in our own reality. o Rescanned from the original artwork, this deluxe hardcover collects the long-out-of-print first nine issues of the original acclaimed comic-book series in an affordable single volume for the first time! o Suggested for readers aged seven to adult. o For a fascinating look into Beanworld, go to http://larrymarder.blogspot.com/!
