L'histoire de la chimie en bande dessinée

Though only a single volume, L'histoire de la chimie en bande dessinée is an ambitious educational graphic novel from the Belgian publisher Casterman, first released in 1986. It presents the history of chemistry as a sequential narrative, blending scientific milestones with the visual storytelling of the bande dessinée tradition. The work is notable for its attempt to make a complex, often abstract science accessible and engaging through comics, reflecting the broader European trend of using the medium for serious non-fiction. Its continued relevance lies in its pioneering role as a graphic history of a scientific field.
