Periodic Table of Comic Books
This site utilizes an unconventional approach to the identification and recollection of the periodic elements. Each element is linked to one or more comic strips, which makes reference to the particular element of interest. Instructors will find this site useful for visual aides. A site-specific search allows resource users to pinpoint the perfect "elemental" comic. Regular site visitors are informed of additions to the comics under a section for what's new. Links are available to the University of Kentucky's Department of Chemistry and WebElements, an online periodic table.
