Teaching Science Through Graphic Novels

I recently stumbled upon some graphic novels (GNs) which contained Science topics, which will no doubt provide a great source of inspiration for us in the pursuit of creating our very own GN on science.

"The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook" is written and illustrated by Eleanor Davis and has received lots n lots of positive reviews.

You can check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Science-Alliance-Copycat-Crook/dp/1599903962

From what I've seen and read, it appears to have all of the ingredients that we're striving for in our book, so if we can achieve something anywhere near as good as this, then I'm sure we'd be extremely happy. I've ordered my copy and can't wait to give it a read!

I also found a whole series of 'Graphic Science' books called "Max Axiom", by Capstone:

The series seems to cover a whole range of science topics.
