Created by two-time Eisner Award winner Mike Kunkel, Herobear and the Kid is a nostalgic, all-ages comic book series that combines adventure, heart, and a touch of magic.

After his grandfather passes away, 10-year-old Tyler inherits an old stuffed toy bear and a broken pocket watch. If moving to a new town and dealing with bullies wasn't enough, he soon learns that things aren't always what they seem... and that you shouldn't judge a bear by its cover.

Join Tyler as he goes on his amazing childhood adventure and learns the truth about his family heritage. With animation-style, expressive artwork and a story that appeals to both kids and grown-ups alike, Herobear and the Kid is a fun, uplifting journey from two-time Eisner Award winner Mike Kunkel, that celebrates the wonder of childhood and the magic of a best friend.
