Yes Johnny, you CAN learn things from a comic book. Things besides dirty words and new sexual positions, even. Our Cartoon History of the Universe series launched Larry Gonick's career back in 1976 and is still an outstanding example of combining humor and facts in a package that makes learning fun. Issues are getting low in stock, but a few are still available--along with some other nonfiction titles.
