Comic Book-Friendly Backpacks

Jim Lee and HEX Work on an Innovative Backpack for Comic Book Fans

An innovative backpack is in the works, made possible through a collaboration between HEX and renowned comic book artist Jim Lee. The aesthetics of the bag boasts function-forward design decisions that make the product agreeable, if not perfect, for the serious comic book collector or the graphic novel artist.

From an 11'' x 17'' removable portfolio sleeve and an art supply organizer to a waterproof ink pocket and a fleece-lined laptop compartment, the innovative backpack embraces details that are usually omitted in traditional bag designs.

In terms of visual presence, HEX and Jim Lee keep the innovative backpack in a clean, minimalist shape, assuring that the aesthetics fit the tastes of all creatives — both bold and those who are more low-key.
