One of the things I picked up at P-Con was a free graphic novel. The author is an old friend of mine, Eugene Byrne, and the book is free because it has been produced as part of the Darwin 200 celebrations here in the UK. It is, of course, an unashamed piece of pro-science propaganda, and a fine job it does too. Illustrated by Simon Gurr, who has worked with Eugene on other projects, it tells the life story of Charles Darwin through the eyes of a production crew from APE TV who are making a documentary about the famous human. As well as being educational, the book is very amusing in places.

You can see a review of the book by Joe Gordon here, and an interview with Eugene and Simon here. As the book is meant to be given away where it will do most good, I am taking it to Montreal with me so that Kevin can have it and spread the Good Word amongst the people of California.
