NUCLEAIRES !
Power for Progress: A Nuclear Comic Book from 1971 A comic book distributed to visitors
of the Big Rock Point Power Plant in Michigan reveals the ideas behind
the age of atomic power
|
The Atomic Age kicked off with a bang on July
16, 1945, with the detonation of a test uranium
fission bomb at the Alamogordo Test Range in the New Mexico desert,
during what's known as the "Golden Age" of comic books and strips. So although
it may seem odd in the 21st century to read about nuclear
power in the funny pages, it was perhaps inevitable during an age when
both were still nascent curiosities.
Following are two examples of early comic book artistry being used to explore and explain everything from atomic fission to using said fission to produce electricity. Courtesy of Ethan Persoff at http://www.ep.tc Slide
