Welcome to A Teddy Bear Tales, the Kickstarter campaign for an all-ages graphic novel adventure.

Did you know Teddy Bears have been protecting children from the monsters under the bed since 1902?

This is the story of Tristan the Teddy Bear and Wilma Bunny, who suddenly find themselves on the front-line of a secret war waged for over 100 years. 

Our story begins as our two cuddly defenders Tristan and Wilma hunt down the mysterious teddy bear that saved them from their first encounter in with the monsters under the bed. From there, they start to discover an adventure unlike any they had encountered before. 

A shield-bearing Teddy Bear defender with mad-skillz, a diligent hunter of snacks and one of the worlds elite Fortnite gamers!  

 A feisty protector of the older sister. This bunny takes her job very seriously and has small army of Teeny Teddies who follow her every order.
