Riassunto

A documentary comic book debunking myths and exposing the lies of scientific naysayers and conspiracy theorists, and the role of the media. By the author of the best-selling Psychiatric Tales, Darryl Cunningham turns his questioning mind and sharp intelligence to de-coding the myths and lies that have shaped some of the most fiercely-debated issues of the past fifty years. A graphic milestone of investigative reporting, Science Tales takes on controversies surrounding climate change, electro-convulsive therapy, the moon landing, the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine, homeopathy, chiropratic, evolution and science denialism. Thoroughly researched and sourced, Cunningham's clear narrative, graphic lines and photographic illustration explain complicated and controversial issues with deceptive ease.

'Darryl Cunningham continues his comics crusade to untangle lies, myths, and misconceptions with a new book defending the science that's grown from Darwin's theory of natural selection. As usual, he does so with wit, charm, and quiet persistence.' --SCOTT McCLOUD

'A clear and thorough survey of the subject, and very important.'
--BRIAN FIES, Eisner-award-winning author of Mom's Cancer
