Booklist Online - Ian Chipman

One of the first series to really implement graphic storytelling to deliver scientific information, these books star super scientist Max Axiom, who follows the lofty tradition of acquiring his superpowers from a freak accident. Instead of saving cities from supervillains, though, his mission is to educate and inspire. Brightly colored artwork details his exploits as he covers everything from the scientific method and basic safety to lessons in photosynthesis, genetics, and magnetism.
