About the series
A pioneering educational comic from the early 1970s, Orbit was commissioned by the Commission for Technical Education and Vocational Training to make technical and vocational subjects accessible and engaging. Published over 18 issues from 1971 to 1976, the series used the comic format to present practical, career-oriented knowledge, standing as an early and purposeful example of comics used for formal instruction rather than pure entertainment. Its straightforward, instructional approach marks it as a unique artifact in the history of educational publishing.
