Review Quotes:

Praise for the Science Comics series:

"This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words." --New York Times

"Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!" --Popular Science

Praise for Science Comics: Robots and Drones:

"The sequential art--which features a diverse cast of young STEM enthusiasts, including one wearing a hijab--infuses the discourse with life"-School Library Journal

"A lighthearted, enjoyable introduction to a fascinating subject."-Kirkus
