Mad Scientist Academy

The Mad Scientist Academy series, launched in 2016 by Scholastic, is a comic-format educational adventure where a class of quirky students navigates a school run by eccentric, mad-science teachers. Created by writer and artist Matthew McElligott, this single-issue debut introduces young readers to a vibrant, STEM-themed world of hands-on experiments and friendly chaos, blending humor with real scientific concepts. It matters as a clever, accessible entry point for early readers to explore science through the engaging, visual storytelling of comics.
