Larry Marder

Seventeen years ago Larry Marder stopped publishing new Beanworld stories. I imagined that that was the lot; that there would be no more wonderful monochrome masterpieces from his very special creation. For almost ten years I had revelled in each addition to his oeuvre and I would continue to buy each reprinting because these reprised my pleasure. And now we have the first new material since that cessation. It is as delightful as ever. It still evokes a world of affection and gentle conflict show more like no other. There is no comic strip like Beanworld and I cannot recommend it too highly. show less

After 15 years, Larry Marder has finally added to his comic legend of Beanworld. This hardback volume, titled REMEMBER HERE WHEN YOU ARE THERE! is full of adventures with Mr. Spook, the Cuties, Notworm, Professor Garbanzo and the other regulars.
All ages should enjoy this mind-trip. Many of the panels are wordless, letting you interpret as you will. My favorite characters are the tiny Cuties and the never-speaking Notworm. The expressive Boom’r Band musicians are another fave.
I liked this show more graphic novel because it is something I can return to again and again and still be entertained. show less
