When Fish Got Feet, Sharks Got Teeth, and Bugs Began to Swarm: A Cartoon Prehistory of Life Long Before Dinosaurs

Hannah Bonner's witty, scientifically grounded comic series for The National Geographic Society (2007–present) takes readers on a vibrant journey through the Paleozoic era, long before the first dinosaur. With a single, richly illustrated issue, it playfully explains the rise of jawless fish, early sharks, and terrestrial arthropods, making deep time accessible and entertaining for all ages. Bonner's distinctive cartoon style and clear, engaging prose have made this a standout work of educational comics.
