Darryl Cunningham is a cartoonist and award-winning graphic journalist, best known for his highly acclaimed Psychiatric Tales, Science Tales and Supercrash, a New York Times bestseller. He lives in Yorkshire.

‘Darryl Cunningham’s simplicity of style is deceptive. I never fail to learn from his work, always educational and deeply human too. This is the sort of book you think you have bought for your child, then refuse to give up until you have finished it first. Buy two copies to be on the safe side.’ ROBIN INCE ‘In a time when the scientific enterprise itself is under attack, it’s good to be reminded of the scientist’s virtues: careful observation, patience, and depth of thought – the same combination that Cunningham brings to his work.’ LARRY GONICK, author of The Cartoon History of the Universe

GRAPHIC SCIENCE darryl cunningham

Much is known about Darwin, Newton and Einstein, but what about those lesser-known scientists who have contributed greatly to human knowledge? Celebrated cartoonist Darryl Cunningham draws compelling portraits of seven scientists who for reasons of gender, race, mental health, poverty – excessive wealth, even – have not won the recognition they deserve. Overlooked, sidelined, excluded, discredited: key figures in scientific discovery take a bow in this alternative Nobel prize gallery.

GRAPHIC SCIENCE SEVEN JOURNEYS OF DISCOVERY

PRAISE FOR DARRYL CUNNINGHAM ‘A superb example of how powerful graphic nonfiction can be in taking complex events and making them frighteningly clear.’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ‘He speaks with quiet authority on his subjects.’ THE INDEPENDENT ‘Delivers his message with style, great art, even moments of outright comedy.’ FORBIDDEN PLANET ‘Remarkable, informed, accurate and incisive.’ DANNY DORLING
