Professor Keenbean

A Harvey Comics creation of the Bronze Age, Professor Keenbean made his debut in Battle of the Planets #4 in 1979, brought to life by Gary Poole and Win Mortimer. Over a span of roughly thirteen years, this brainy figure popped up across a delightfully eclectic corner of the Harvey universe — from Richie Rich Digest Stories to Alvin & the Chipmunks — keeping company with the likes of Richie Rich, Cadbury, and Reggie Van Dough Jr. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Professor Keenbean is a genuine deep-cut find for collectors who love the quirky, warm-hearted world Harvey built through the '80s and into the early '90s.
