Where to begin? I think I was about five years old when I first read Beanworld. I don't know quite what I'd think of it if I were picking it up for the first time now. It's its own self-contained world with its own mechanics. It has its own sound. It's... innocent in a way, but has a great deal of depth. It's a comic about anthropomorphic beans and the world in which they live. It's one of the best examples I can think of of Tolkien's observation that a good enough story will serve as a metaphor for the real world without dipping into heavy-handed allegory. I will say that if you're going to share this with kids, you may want to vet issue 1. Beyond that, you're fine-- Amazon suggests ages 9-12. There's a great deal to be said for a series that's accessible to children without talking down to them, and I don't think my own nostalgia for the series would be necessary to enjoy it as an adult. One thing to bear noting-- there are two sets of reprints out there, which the Goodreads listings don't distinguish. The Beanworld Press versions came out in the late 80s and early 90s. There were four of them, each reprinting four issues of the comic. Anything past issue 16 is still only available in loose issues. Dark Horse has begun putting out nice sturdy hardcovers that will run the whole series-- Volume 1 covered issues 1-9. Volume 2 came out last week, and covers 10-21; Volume 3 is due in November.
