Larry Marder Bücher

Die Bohnenwelt ist ein wahnwitziger Figurenkosmos, den Autor und Zeichner Larry Marder seit den 1980er-Jahren beständig ausbaut. Im Zentrum steht ein Stamm bohnenförmiger Jäger und Sammler, der nach und nach seine Umwelt erforscht, Musik, Kunst oder Philosophie entdeckt und dabei einer Unzahl merkwürdiger Kreaturen begegnet. Nicht selten erschüttern die schrägen Geschehnisse um Mr. Spuk, Professor Garbanzo und Bohnerich das mit viel Humor entworfene Ökosystem der Bohnenwelt. Doch immer wieder stellt sich eine überraschende, neue Ordnung ein, die schon bald in Alltag übergeht. Ist die Bohnenwelt also eine Metapher auf den menschlichen Körper? Ist sie eine politische Utopie? Oder ein ökologisches Manifest? Kinderbuch oder Konzeptkunst? Soviel ist sicher - Marder verspricht jedem Leser ein ganz eigenes Erlebnis: „Die Bohnenwelt ist kein Ort, sie ist ein Prozess!“ Aus dem Englischen von Dirk Schwieger und Daniela Seel

The most peculiar comic book experience returns in an all-new volume--Beanworld Volume 4: Hoka Hoka Burb'l Burb'l! The Boom'r Band coaxes a new healing power out of Chow, leading to a visit from Dreamishness's relatives--the Windy Songsterinos--who bring their gift of rain. The storm causes great changes to Mr. Spook, Beanish and the Pod'l'pool Cuties. Marder's deceptively simple artwork illustrates a self-contained ecological fantasy realm with its own unique rules and lingo.

"I have yet to find a comic book as challenging and inventive and downright fun as Beanworld." -Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics and The Sculptor
