4.0 out of 5 stars A very different sort of comic, May 2, 2001

This review is from: Beanworld Book 1 (Beanworld Series Book 1) (Paperback)

Way odd . . . a comic book (this is acutally the first of several collections of the Beanworld comic) about a very peculiar imaginary universe populated by an assortment of odd creatures (including the Beans -- our protagonists -- and the Hoi-Polloi). They're all tied together in an initially baffling spiritual (for lack of a better word) and biological ecosystem.

I am NOT a comic book fan in the traditional sense. Don't care for superheroes, don't think most graphic novels (especially those based on prose books) are worth a damn. But oddities like Beanworld give me a lot of pleasure.

Minor nit: These are pricy collections. Not a lot of pages for the buck. Read them a bit at a time to stretch out the enjoyment.
