Isn’t it great to gain education with a pinch of fun with it? Well, we can’t change the educational system, at least we can assist and provide you with a unique educational resource and that also with lots and lots of fun.

So how about comics and chemistry together? Don’t get it? Well, the most basic part in chemistry is the ‘periodic table’, where students have to learn the properties of the elements and for those who find it hard to cover the elements in the chemistry class, Periodic Table of Comic Books makes learning elements a piece of cake – how? Just click on an element in the table and read the comics associated with that element. Isn’t it fun learning?

Yes, it is, and as simple as one can guess, just by clicking on an element a list of comic book pages involving that element opens. Click on a thumbnail on the list to see a full comic bookpage. For technical information about an element, follow the link to Mark Winter’s Web Elements. Start with oxygen and see some of the best stuff on the site.

Periodic Table of Comic Books is a highly creative website that combines periodic table with actual comics and offers a new approach to teach a complex subject through children’s favourite – comics. The site includes comics that are both recent and those over 50 years old. There are comic strip stories for all (or nearly all) of the elements. Although most of the comic books refer to them are in villainous schemes or fantastical experiments, it still is a fun and entertaining way to learn elements.

According to the site, all characters and names referred to, and all images reproduced in the pages of The Periodic Table of Comic Books, are trademark and copyrights to DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Continuity Comics, Walt Disney Comics, and many others and are reproduced under ‘fair use’ guidelines.

So those interested in the site follow the link and learn elements through comics on https://www.uky.edu/Projects/Chemcomics/
