Herobear and the Kid Vol. 2: Saving Time

(W) Mike Kunkel (A) Mike Kunkel

Two best friends. One timeline. Zero room for mistakes. Tyer and Herobear set off on a new adventure to save time. Part 1 of Saving Time. For fans of Herobear and the Kid Volume 1, Calvin and Hobbes and Superman for All Seasons.

“Who’s Henry really? And what has happened to him?? Thinking the days of magical surprises were behind him, Tyler is settling into life as a young hero with his red-caped, polar bear best friend, Herobear, when an unexpected event pulls him into his greatest adventure yet—Henry, the family’s loyal butler, has mysteriously vanished! With the added surprise help of Elmo, it’s up to Tyler and Herobear now to figure out what happened to their friend…only they might learn a lot more about Henry than they initially thought as their extraordinary quest takes them through the very fabric of time itself, only to find themselves face to face with Tyler’s heritage, beloved family members AND flying mechanical penguins with diabolical jack-in-the-boxes! For the villainous inventor Von Klon has everything to do with Henry’s disappearance. He wants revenge, and Tyler’s family and friends need Herobear and the kid to stop him! As they chase Von Klon into the unraveled past, Tyler faces powerful questions: What does it mean to carry a legacy? Can a kid shape the course of history? Is fruitcake a good alternate Christmas gift? With Herobear’s courage and his own heart guiding him, can Tyler defend his family’s legacy from being destroyed and ultimately save Time?”

HEROBEAR AND THE KID ANNUAL 2013

Written by Mike Kunkel
Drawn by Mike Kunkel

It’s Halloween…one of Tyler’s favorite times of the year. Everyone loves to dress up, hang out with friends, and of course, the free candy. Tyler tries his best to do what all kids aim to do on Halloween and that’s getting all the candy possible. Good thing he has Herobear to help him this year!

Herobear and the Kid was a self-published, all-ages hit before all-ages comics were en vogue. It’s a beautifully drawn, endearing story that connects both with kids and the kid in all of us who dreamed of having a hero best friend.

Mike Kunkel’s charming art will remind you of classic animation techniques and his stories will inspire and warm your heart. It’s a perfect comic to hand to the young dreamer in your life or share with your family.
