The Bomb. The Weapon that changed the world by Didier Alcatel-Lucent, LF Bollée and Denis Rodier
This book is about "The incredible story of the most disastrous weapon ever invented."
This is a non-fiction French comic. Superbly written and drawn. The story, seems to me, structured as a supply chain of intellectual and material contributions that delivered the first atomic bomb. It presents many of the involved scientists, politicians, the military, and more. However, I'd say there is a strong focus on Leo Szilard, a Hungarian American scientist, who developed the concept of nuclear chain reaction. The story is told mainly via a graphic narrative and dialogue but bits of it is narrated by (Mr) Uranium himself. Enjoyed its sarcastic humour. It isn't dense with data but I think it covers the most relevant issues and events.
