The first edition of Darryl Cunningham's Science Tales was published in 2012 and shortlisted for the British Comics Awards: Best Book. It was updated in 2013 to include a new chapter on fracking. This new paperback edition unites it as a series with Darryl Cunningham's other best selling titles with Myriad: Graphic Science and Supercrash. They will be joined in November 2019 by Cunningham's latest graphic expose, Billionaires.

A graphic milestone of investigative reporting, Cunningham's essays explode the lies, hoaxes and scams of popular science, debunking media myths and decoding some of today's most fiercely-debated issues: climate change, electroconvulsive therapy, the moon landing, the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine, homeopathy, chiropractic, evolution, science denialism and fracking.

Thoroughly researched and sourced, Cunningham's clear narrative, graphic lines and photographic illustration explain complicated and controversial issues with deceptive ease. Shortly available in a new flapped paperback edition, along with Cunningham's other best-selling books, Supercrash and Graphic Science.
Industry Reviews
Brilliantly presented, and customarily classy....Science Tales is impressive, Cunningham delivering his message with style, great art, even moments of outright comedy.'-Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet; 'Cunningham packages important scientific topics and tackles them in an easily accessible way. Science Tales is a fun, entertaining and informative read.' Books of Shelf; 'As a science primer that presents complex ideas in a simple, but never simplistic, way, Science Tales cannot be recommended enough.' Argument; 'Informative and engaging... Cunningham's succinct presentation delivers the facts with no prior scientific understanding required.' Slings and Arrows; 'Brilliantly presented, and customarily classy.... Science Tales is impressive, Cunningham delivering his message with style, great art, even moments of outright comedy.' Forbidden Planet; 'The artwork is uncluttered, leaving little to distract the reader from the exposition, delivered in stripped-back, staccato prose.' New Scientist; 'Cunningham's art... has clean lines and a continuity that is often graceful, charming and endearing. He speaks with quiet authority on his subjects.' Independent; 'Takes a view on such knotty issues as homeopathy and the MMR vaccine, sorting facts from fiction and presenting complex information in a highly accessible way.' The Observer, 'With simplicity and depth Darryl Cunningham produces cartoons that get to the nub of why understanding the world as it seems to be, is so important.' Robin Ince
