“Comics are an extremely versatile medium for telling all kinds of stories, and have an appeal that spans all ages. This is demonstrated by Toximop, a comic created by the University of Dundee's iGEM team. The team approached Avril Smart to draw the comic based on their work. With tongue in cheek and a playful style the comic tells the story of how the citizens of Biofilm City combat the evil algae that has contaminated their lake. The University of Dundee's rector, Brian Cox, guest stars as the town major, leading the battle, with the help of a detective straight out of CSI, and Conan the Bacterium, but it falls to a lowly janitor to save the city with his trusty mop, and a strain of engineered E. coli which binds to the toxin in the aglae, rendering it harmless. This simple but engaging story communicates the science in a way that makes it fun and comprehensible to the average reader, and especially younger ones, which is a commendable goal. The iGEM team, and Avril Smart, have done a great job bringing together science and comics in this publication. I hope to see other publications like this emerging through collaborations with Life Sciences and the Humanities. As C.P.
