Beatrice the Biologist, in her awesomeness, has decided to share some links to science-based comics. I’ve already found some comics that I really like and that I’ve subscribed to, because at my core I am a follower of all things awesome.

I led a session at a conference called Science Online about comics, and I featured a bunch of different science and science-ish comics from around the interwebs. I promised those in the session I’d make a list of them, but rather that put it on the conference forum, I figured this should be shared with everyone. So here is a rather mighty (although by no means definitive) list of science comics. If you know of anyone who isn’t on here, feel free to tweet me and I’ll add them. And there are some here that are not always science-y, but do sometimes touch on science, health, or nature topics.

Penciler: Luca Cicchitti
Penciler: Cory Smith
Inker: Jeff Austin
Colorist: Keith J. Betancourt
Letterer: Johnny Lowe
Cover art by: Jerry Ordway, Jamal Igle, John Byrne, Bob McLeod, and Phil Jimenez

5 Issue Miniseries that wraps Joe Martino’s cancer in a superhero shell. Who will protect The Mighty Titan’s alter ego from cancer?

 

From Joe Martino: “The Mighty Titan is my newest creation that essentially takes my cancer (and other) experiences and wraps them in a superhero shell. This isn’t autobiographical. I have researched and talked to other cancer survivors to try and get the feeling of what other people have experienced. The plan is to do a 5 issue mini-series with the possibility of it continuing. I created Titan in 2004 during my first bout with Kidney cancer. It was a tough decision to take some of my personal experiences and put them to paper in order to entertain and possibly allow people a glimpse of what some of us go through while battling this potentialy deadly disease.

“Make no mistake, this is still a cool, fun superhero book with vile villians, giant Mechas and some really great mythological creatures. But there is certainly an underlying theme of fear and loss.”
