Field Tripping (Collecting all five issues for the first time)
by co-writers James Asmus and Jim Festante
art by José García and letters by Ryan Ferrier
Field Tripping, a world-spanning, all-ages comic book. When a flighty teacher with a mysterious bus takes her young students on field trips into parallel dimensions to illustrate different lessons, she fails to realize that it’s a horribly dangerous idea and that children break everything they touch. The machine breaks and leaves them stranded, jumping between bizarre worlds but never seemingly able to go back to their own.
Seven years in the future the surviving kids are now teenagers – wildly transformed by the worlds they’ve visited but seemingly unable to grow up and take responsibility for themselves. That is, until a surprise vendetta upends their routine and forces the kids to step up and act like adults for the first time.
Asmus and Festante have worked together in numerous mediums, including comics like The End Times of Bram & Ben, and Rick and Morty Presents Mr. Meeseeks, animation development for Stoopid Buddy and Flying Rock Entertainment, and improv performances in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Field Tripping is a coming-of-age story full of nostalgia, heartfelt moments, and characters with unique personalities from the most carefree to the grumpiest of them all. So, buckle up and get ready to head back to school!
