Last month, Robot Comics published the final part of the four-issue mobile comic, BEAR BEATER BUNYAN by writer Josh Hechinger (The Grave Doug Freshley) and artist Jorge F. Muñoz.
Definitely one of the freshest, most inner-child-wild mobile comics we’ve yet published, Robot Comics decided to celebrate the series’ big wrap-up by interviewing the creators on the making of the series, it’s move to mobile, the sudden shift in title, and more.

ROBOT COMICS: So let’s start with revealing where the inspiration for Bear Beater Bunyan came from. Was this a collaborative creation in concept between the both of you, or originally just your brainchild alone, Josh? Did the concept change once Jorge came aboard?

What is BEAR BEATER BUNYAN??? (Besides a super-catchy title, that is…)
It’s a brand new series now on Android and the iTunes marketplace, published by Robot Comics and (for iTunes) bundled with the new iRobot Comics Viewer, and it is one of the most all-out action-packed comic extravaganzas you’ll ever read pitting one upstart young bear wrestler against The Four Great Bears! And each issue is packed with twice the content as in its original mobile release!
Think giant mecha manga, or Godzilla clashing with other titanic beasties, only replace all of that with a dwarf-sized kid wrestler and four giant-sized bears – then you’ve got Bear Beater Bunyan by writer Josh Hechinger (Comic Book Tattoo, The Grave Doug Freshley) and artist Jorge F. Muñoz.
“Crazy fun! Josh and Jorge spin [Bear Beater Bunyan] firmly in a world of action and comedy. Bunyan Paulson is a character taking the wrestling sport to new heights — and we’re happy to follow.”-Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen)
Josh Hechinger & Jorge Muñoz’s [Bear Beater Bunyan] is a energetic take on pro wrestling, mixed with popular manga motifs and done with strong cartooning. So far very well done, and much better dynamics than in most print comics, let alone online ones. –Steven Grant (Punisher, X, Badlands, Permanent Damage)
