Synopsis
A documentary comic book debunking myths and exposing the lies of scientific naysayers and conspiracy theorists, and the role of the media.
By the author of the best-selling Psychiatric Tales, Darryl Cunningham turns his questioning mind and sharp intelligence to de-coding the myths and lies that have shaped some of the most fiercely-debated issues of the past fifty years. A graphic milestone of investigative reporting, Science Tales takes on controversies surrounding climate change, electro-convulsive therapy, the moon landing, the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine, homeopathy, evolution, the tobacco industry and science denialism. Thoroughly researched and sourced, Cunningham’s clear narrative, graphic lines and photographic illustration explain complicated and controversial issues with deceptive ease. New edition to include chapter on hydraulic fracking.

Review
"Cunningham continues his comics crusade. . . . As usual, he does so with wit, charm, and quiet persistence." —Scott McCloud, author, Understanding Comics
It’s good to see the arguments presented so well, clearly and concisely... what Cunningham does here is rather brilliantly presented, and customarily classy. As an artist his work is equally at home in the stark black and white of Psychiatric Tales or the lush and varied colours in Science Tales... Science Tales is impressive, Cunningham delivering his message with style, great art, even moments of outright comedy. All in all, we have something else to deliver the message of science and reason, and that’s a good, good thing. - See more at: http://myriadeditions.com/books/science-tales/#modal1

[if you] enjoyed Ben Goldacre's Bad Science, and care about climate change, you'll enjoy this one." —Cory Doctorow, author, Little Brother
"The artwork is uncluttered, leaving little to distract the reader from the explosition, delivered in stripped-back, staccato prose." —New Scientist
