The Cartoon Guide to Genetics [Updated Edition]

Larry Gonick and Mark Wheelis teamed up for this single-issue, updated edition of Gonick’s classic educational comic, published by HarperCollins in 1991. Known for his witty, accessible approach to complex topics, Gonick illustrates the fundamentals of genetics—from Mendel’s peas to DNA—in a clear, engaging format that has remained a go‑to resource for students and curious readers ever since. Its enduring value lies in proving that science can be both accurate and genuinely fun.
