I met Travis Hanson years ago as part of the online studio Outcast Comics. He's a great artist and storyteller who has been working on a web comic called
The Bean for several years now. Why he hasn't gotten more attention from First Second or Scholastic by this point is beyond me. His story, a fantasy epic based in a young boy's quest to discover more about his father, resonates with a sense of all things "classic" in good literature.
As well, I feel the story is family-friendly, for the most part. There's some violence, but it all has its place and is never gratuitous.
Why not check out
The Bean now?:
