Genetically speaking the stuff of life can be pressing to explain. What is a teacher to do to explain DNA and the universe around us without much complicated lingo. You turn to comic book experts to write and draw you a cohesive explanation of the stuff of life. Mark Schultz creator of Xeonzoic Tales goes beyond dinosaurs and pens this microcosm universe concealed from our senses. Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon lend their pencils and inks to guide you in this new frontier as chronicled in The Stuff of Life: A Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA.
Let’s face it: from adenines to zygotes, from cytokinesis to parthenogenesis, even the basics of genetics can sound utterly alien. Consequently, who better than an alien to explain it all? Enter Bloort 183, an asexual scientist on a dying planet charged with researching the fundamentals of human DNA and evolution and boiling it all down into clear, simple language so that even his slow-to-grasp-the-point leader can get it. In the hands of multiple-award-winning graphic novel author Mark Schultz, Bloort’s predicament becomes the means of giving even the most science-phobic reader a complete introduction to the history and science of genetics. Ninety percent ofThe Stuff of Life is the basic information of genetics and DNA, with Schultz’s aliens stepping in only at those points where the reader will welcome someone saying, “Hold up a moment; could you go over that last part again?” In conjunction with the absolutely stunning illustrations of the award-winning comic artists Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon, the complex is made clear and even the most alien concept behind the genetic basis of human evolution is rendered understandable. Complete with a glossary and suggested reading, The Stuff of Life is the high-school-level introduction to the most basic facts of genetics, evolution, and life as we know it for anyone and everyone.
