Removing the human figure, he "came up with something that would work in comics: the Bean figures", and began "goofing around with these figures". Idea is everything,'" which led him to "create comics where idea was everything". The initial idea hit Marder when he was in art school, and "swept up in the conceptual art movement. a delightfully accessible, resonant, and almost alchemical bond with readers of all ages. In a short period of time, the comic "evolved into what Marder terms 'a weird fantasy dimension that operates under its own rules and laws.'" Wiater and Bissette also term it:Ī reading experience that.
Bissette in Comic Book Rebels as "an essentially self-published comic (through distributed through Eclipse Comics)", launched in 1984. Marder's Tales of the Beanworld began as a "collection of character sketches and concepts" that is described by Stanley Wiater and Stephen R. He cites as his major influences Jack Kirby, Rudolph Zallinger, Henry Darger and Marcel Duchamp. He earned "his living as an art director in the high-pressure world of advertising" in Chicago from 1976, balancing his time in that profession with "a remarkable interior landscape of the imagination that coalesced into the vivid ecology of Beanworld". Marder was educated at the Hartford Art School in Connecticut in the early 1970s, earning a BFA degree in 1973.
Beginning in 2009, Dark Horse Books began to reprint Tales of the Beanworld, in two volumes, and then went on to publish two more volumes of new Beanworld.
