Sunday Runaround – Beanworld In The Summer
BeanWatch: Larry Marder unveils the cover to the next Beanworld volume, entitled "Something More" as the Beanworld enters Summertime, and the Beanworld cover to April's issue of Dark Horse Presents, featuring a short Beanworld story.
Beanworld is one of my favourite comic books of all time and it is to Dark Horse's credit that they have collected and continued the series in digest-sized hardcovers and made them so easily available. You owe it to yourself as a comic book reader to buy all three. And then wait for the fourth like the rest of us.
Marder also talks about his work for the Image Fractured Fables title, writing and drawing work based on Billy Goat Gruff.

The answer, so far, appears to be a resounding "yes."
