The Bean #1

Travis Hanson's all-ages fantasy adventure gets a handsome collected volume with this first trade, subtitled Riddles & Shrooms. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a scrappy young blond hero clutches his pack and stands his ground while a towering, grinning troll looms behind him — all rendered in Hanson's clean, expressive linework. It's an inviting introduction to what looks like a world full of danger, wit, and just the right amount of mischief.
