Frontiers of Science

Frontiers of Science was an illustrated comic strip of 'science fact' which was conceived and published in Sydney Australia, and syndicated worldwide through over 600 newspapers.  As of October 2012, the Frontiers of Science collection contains digitised images of 200 weekly comic strips.

The early art work in the series was by Andrea Bresciani, continued later by David Emersen.
