I found this beautiful piece of history while plundering in a comic shop the other day. Above are just a few snippets from the small comic published in 1948 by General Electric Company. All the science covered still rings true. The Bohr model which is technically wrong but is still taught in high schools around the nation to start as a building block to understanding the quantum mechanical model. Also, since 1948 we have learned a great deal more about the atom and its nuclear power, which more could be covered. However, this is a nice cursory comic.
If you enjoy the snippets and would like the whole pdf look below.
