About the series
Published by Radio Shack from 1980 to 1983, this four-issue comic series uses the framing device of a science fair to trace the history of electronics, from early discoveries to modern applications. Written primarily by Bill Palmer (also credited as William M. Palmer) and illustrated by Weathers Graphic Design, it was an educational promotional giveaway that aimed to spark young readers' interest in technology. Though obscure, it stands as a charming example of corporate-sponsored educational comics from the early 1980s.
