Science includes the study of EPIC THEMES. Themes so epic they go beyond research journals and textbooks. You know, the sort of EPIC THEMES that leap off the pages of comic books into the hearts and minds of children.
The beauty of EPIC THEMES is that you can take them as seriously as you like. Some particularly awesome EPIC THEMES are:
  • robots
  • explosions and danger
  • dinosaurs
  • space, time and travel
  • very big things and very small things
  • things we can eat and things that can eat us (and other stuff to do with the human body)
  • codes, ciphers and hidden messages
  • heroes and villains
  • matters of life and death
Our team of editors and contributors produced a science comic book for the British Science Festival in September 2013 in Newcastle. In total 10,000 copies of Asteroid Belter - The Newcastle Science Comic were distributed to partner schools and various Science Festival events across the city. Did you get a copy? What did you think?
