作者簡介
拉裏?戈尼剋（Larry Gonick）以一係列的科學漫畫繪本而聞名世界。他的繪本作品，不僅有介紹宇宙科學的，更有介紹美國曆史的。另外，他還曾與一些其他的作者閤作，創作瞭介紹人文知識方麵的繪本。由於賴瑞廣泛的興趣以及他所創作的書籍帶來的成就，美國“探索”頻道曾將他報道為“揭露宇宙秘密的漫畫藝術傢”。
Larry Gonick is a cartoonist best known for The Cartoon History of the Universe, a history of the world in comic book form. He has also written The Cartoon History of the United States, and he has adapted the format for a series of co-written guidebooks on other subjects. The diversity of his interests, and the success with which his books have met, have together earned Gonick the distinction of being “the most well-known and respected of cartoonists who have applied their craft to unravelling the mysteries of science”.
